-What: ip_queue and ip6_queue (old ipv4-only and ipv6-only netfilter queue)
-When: December 2005
-Why: This interface has been obsoleted by the new layer3-independent
- "nfnetlink_queue". The Kernel interface is compatible, so the old
- ip[6]tables "QUEUE" targets still work and will transparently handle
- all packets into nfnetlink queue number 0. Userspace users will have
- to link against API-compatible library on top of libnfnetlink_queue
- instead of the current 'libipq'.

-What: frame diverter
-When: November 2006
-Why: The frame diverter is included in most distribution kernels, but is
- broken. It does not correctly handle many things:
- - IPV6
- - non-linear skb's
- - network device RCU on removal
- - input frames not correctly checked for protocol errors
- It also adds allocation overhead even if not enabled.
- It is not clear if anyone is still using it.
