-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.

+What:  CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
+When:  Release 2009-11
 
----------------------------
+Why:   U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
+       the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
+       this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
+
+       All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
+       In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
+       provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
+       all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.
 
-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.

-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.
-Who:   Scott Wood <scottwood@freescale.com>
+What:  GPL cleanup
+When:  August 2009
+Why:   Over time, a couple of files have sneaked in into the U-Boot
+       source code that are either missing a valid GPL license
+       header or that carry a license that is incompatible with the
+       GPL.
+       Such files shall be removed from the U-Boot source tree.
+       See http://www.denx.de/wiki/pub/U-Boot/TaskGplCleanup/u-boot-1.1.2-files
+       for an old and probably incomplete list of such files.
