+* The ethdev structures rte_eth_link, rte_eth_dev_info and rte_eth_conf
+  must be updated to support 100G link and to have a cleaner link speed API.
+
+* ABI changes is planned for the reta field in struct rte_eth_rss_reta_entry64
+  which handles at most 256 queues (8 bits) while newer NICs support larger
+  tables (512 queues).
+  It should be integrated in release 2.3.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for struct rte_eth_fdir_flow in order to support
+  extend flow director's input set. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI
+  changes, but release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_ipv4_flow and rte_eth_ipv6_flow to
+  include more fields to be matched against. The release 2.2 does not
+  contain these ABI changes, but release 2.3 will.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for adding four new flow types. This impacts
+  RTE_ETH_FLOW_MAX. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes,
+  but release 2.3 will.
+
+* ABI changes are planned for rte_eth_tunnel_filter_conf. Change the fields
+  of outer_mac and inner_mac from pointer to struct in order to keep the
+  code's readability. The release 2.2 does not contain these ABI changes, but
+  release 2.3 will, and no backwards compatibility is planned.
+
 * The scheduler statistics structure will change to allow keeping track of
   RED actions.
 
-* librte_table hash: Key mask parameter will be added to the hash table
-  parameter structure for 8-byte key and 16-byte key extendible bucket and
-  LRU tables.
-
 * librte_pipeline: The prototype for the pipeline input port, output port
   and table action handlers will be updated:
   the pipeline parameter will be added, the packets mask parameter will be
   either removed (for input port action handler) or made input-only.
+
+* ABI changes are planned in cmdline buffer size to allow the use of long
+  commands (such as RETA update in testpmd).  This should impact
+  CMDLINE_PARSE_RESULT_BUFSIZE, STR_TOKEN_SIZE and RDLINE_BUF_SIZE.
+  It should be integrated in release 2.3.
