-* In 16.11 ABI changes are planned: the ``rte_eth_dev`` structure will be
- extended with new function pointer ``tx_pkt_prep`` allowing verification
+* igb_uio: iomem mapping and sysfs files created for iomem and ioport in
+ igb_uio will be removed, because we are able to detect these from what Linux
+ has exposed, like the way we have done with uio-pci-generic. This change
+ targets release 17.02.
+
+* ABI/API changes are planned for 17.02: ``rte_device``, ``rte_driver`` will be
+ impacted because of introduction of a new ``rte_bus`` hierarchy. This would
+ also impact the way devices are identified by EAL. A bus-device-driver model
+ will be introduced providing a hierarchical view of devices.
+
+* ``eth_driver`` is planned to be removed in 17.02. This currently serves as
+ a placeholder for PMDs to register themselves. Changes for ``rte_bus`` will
+ provide a way to handle device initialization currently being done in
+ ``eth_driver``.
