and, as i've said before, i disagree. while one might debate what those words *mean*, or which features should be tagged thusly, i think there's a measurable value to be able to, with one mouse click, say you want to do a build test on the kernel which does not incorporate anything deemed deprecated and/or obsolete. if you don't agree, however, no amount of explaining that on my part is going to change your opinion.
