You don't get people to use new interface by breaking the build on them in userspace. You get them to do it by making suggestions and informing them, not by forcing them. That's why 1) you can't get rid of these macros, ever, but 2) you can warn them by using inline functions and depcrecated attribute tags. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
