i would like to mark it deprecated now but it seems the policy governing abi replacement prevent me from doing so. ``` 3.3.3. New API replacing previous one If a new API proposed functionally replaces an existing one, when the new API becomes non-experimental then the old one is marked with __rte_deprecated. Deprecated APIs are removed completely just after the next LTS. ``` as i interpreted this i am not permitted to mark the old api __rte_deprecated until the new api is no longer marked __rte_experimental. of course i'm happy to skip marking the new api __rte_experimental if people find that a satisfactory solution? let me know.
