I actually went through and poked a couple of people about old entries
in feature-removal-shedule.txt last year, but I haven't been very
active since the kernel.org breakin because my account got disabled,
and I needed to meet kernel developers in person to get keys signed to
get it switched back on (or set up a separate git tree with signed
commits -next could pull from).

I don't get out much; as a consultant I have to take time off from work
and pay for my own travel and lodging. So I've been to exactly two
conferences in the past 3 years: last year's Texas Linux Fest (my house
got broken into and a netbook with the key on it stolen the following
wednesday), and CELF (which I'm on the plane back from now, Greg KH
signed my key! Woo!).

If I can use that to get my account back, set up a tree feeding into
linux-next, and maybe even recover the ability to update
http://kernel.org/doc, I'd happily field some sort of
feature-removal-schedule list and make sure it stays current. (Linus
didn't ask me about removing the old one, I found out about it from the
git log. But I can't blame him, I haven't exactly been tearing through
the bureaucracy to get my access back. "Volunteer work" and "painful"
tend not to combine well on my todo list in terms of scheduling
priority...)
