    Subject[PATCH] Remove "obsolete" label from ISDN4Linux (v3)
    From: Tilman Schmidt <tilman@imap.cc>

    The "obsolete" label on the ISDN_I4L Kconfig option is not, and
    has never been, accurate. It has already prompted repeated attempts
    to remove actively used functionality from the kernel without a
    working replacement. This patch removes the incorrect label and
    corrects the accompanying help text.

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice.
    In practice, there is.
