and while len is working on detaching APM and ACPI from legacy power
management, here's the short list of other stuff that is listed as on
its way to being dead, based on the contents of Kconfig files. any of
this stuff candidates for removal, if not scheduling for removal?
(note: i made no effort to cull this list of entries that i know
folks are already aware of or might be working on, or stuff that we've
already established is *not* really obsolete. it's just a list.)

bool "Traffic Policing (obsolete)"

bool "Layer 3 Dependent Connection tracking (OBSOLETE)"
config IP6_NF_QUEUE
tristate "IP6 Userspace queueing via NETLINK (OBSOLETE)"
config IP_NF_QUEUE
