    Subject[PATCH v2 40/41] CAPI: Schedule capifs for removal
    Date
    With dynamic TTY nodes and the help of udev, we no longer need this
    special filesystem. Schedule it for removal in one year from now.

    As a last duty to this feature, move its help to right option so that
    users can read the rationale.
