The following is a list of files and features that are going to be removed in
 | 
						|
the source tree.  Every entry should contain what exactly is going away, why it
 | 
						|
is happening, and who is going to be doing the work.  When the feature is
 | 
						|
removed, it should also be removed from this file.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
---------------------------
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
What: rc_sys automatic detection code
 | 
						|
      - Functions for removal: rc_sys_v1, rc_sys_v2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
When: 2011/03/01
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Why: The original automatic sub-system detection is flawed in that it cannot
 | 
						|
	 safely detect some variables (Using cgroups confused it to think you were
 | 
						|
	 using LXC, and Prefix cannot be detect by definition). Also, almost all of
 | 
						|
	 the detection requires that /proc is available and readable. During early
 | 
						|
	 boot, /proc may not be mounted yet, leading to mis-detection. The readable
 | 
						|
	 condition can also fail under some hardened kernels when running as an
 | 
						|
	 unprivileged user.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
	 The new rc_sys_v2 function uses the rc_sys variable from rc.conf. After
 | 
						|
	 the removal, the contents of the rc_sys_v2 function will move into the
 | 
						|
	 rc_sys function.
