I'm looking to eliminate some horribly broken/dup drivers. Since 2.6 is an ongoing matter, I want a 'flashing-red warning sign' that drivers will soon be disappearing, rather than just killing the driver and listening for the screams. IPhase driver is broken+abandoned, and xirtulip is broken+duplicate+abandoned, and are two prime candidates for my prefence of handling this matter: CONFIG_DEPRECATED. See patch for example.
