+What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
+When: Release 2009-11
+
+Why: U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs. New drivers with
+ the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
+ this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
+
+ All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
+ In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should
+ provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
+ all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.

What: "autoscr" command

- Starting with March 2009, both commands will be supported for
- a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
- removed. During the transition period existing scripts and

- compatibiltiy; thse will be changed when support for the

-What: Individual I2C commands
-When: April 2009
-Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
- "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
- currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
- functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
- I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
- CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.

-What: Legacy NAND code
-When: April 2009
