[NETFILTER]: Kill ip_queue from feature removal schedule.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
We really can't remove ip_queue. Many users use this, there is no binary
compatible interface and even the compat replacement for the originally
statically linked library doesn't work. There is also no real necessity
to remove the code, so the feature-removal-schedule entry should be
removed instead.

---------------------------

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'.
