i'm trying to keep track of kernel janitor projects that involve
removing dead content from the tree:

http://fsdev.net/wiki/index.php?title=Kernel_Janitor%27s_Todo_List

currently, the list contains the items:

* 1 Legacy power management
* 2 PCMCIA IOCTL support
* 3 Traffic shaper
* 4 Traffic policing
* 5 Userspace queueing via NETLINK
* 6 ebt: ulog support
* 7 MOXA SmartIO support
* 8 Old I2O ioctls
* 9 Stallion drivers
* 10 SDL RISCom/8 support
* 11 Macintosh M68K support
* 12 Commodore A2232 serial support
* 13 CONFIG_FORCED_INLINING
* 14 kernel_thread()

which of the above are legitimate candidates for removal? which are
already underway in someone's local tree? anything else that can
be added? etc, etc.


Take a look at Documentation/feature-removal-schedule.txt
Some of that stuff is already listed there along with who is in charge
of removing it and when.
