Deprecation Notices
-------------------
+* linux: Linux kernel version 3.2 (which is the current minimum required
+ version for the DPDK) is not maintained anymore. Therefore the planned
+ minimum required kernel version for DPDK 19.02 will be the next oldest
+ Long Term Stable (LTS) version which is 3.16, but compatibility for
+ recent distribution kernels will be kept.
+
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
