+The following is a list of files and features that are going to be
+removed from the U-Boot source tree. Every entry should contain what
+exactly is going away, when it will be gone, why it is being removed,
+and who is going to be doing the work. When the feature is removed
+from U-Boot, its corresponding entry should also be removed from this
+file.
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: "autoscr" command
+When: August 2009
+Why: "autosrc" is an ugly and completely non-standard name. The "autoscr"
+ command is deprecated and will be replaced the "source" command as
+ used by other shells such as bash. Both commands will be supported
+ for a transition period of 6 months after which "autoscr" will be
+ removed.
+Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: Individual I2C commands
+When: April 2009
+Why: Per the U-Boot README, individual I2C commands such as "imd", "imm",
+ "imw", etc are deprecated. The single "i2c" command which is
+ currently enabled via CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE contains the same
+ functionality as the individual I2C commands. The individual
+ I2C commands should be removed as well as any references to
+ CONFIG_I2C_CMD_TREE.
+Who: Peter Tyser <ptyser@xes-inc.com>
+
+---------------------------
+
+What: Legacy NAND code
+When: April 2009
+Why: Legacy NAND code is deprecated. Similar functionality exists in
+ more recent NAND code ported from the Linux kernel.
