 Deprecation Notices
 -------------------
 
+* linux: Linux kernel version 3.2 (which is the current minimum required
+  version for the DPDK) is not maintained anymore. Therefore the planned
+  minimum required kernel version for DPDK 19.02 will be the next oldest
+  Long Term Stable (LTS) version which is 3.16, but compatibility for
+  recent distribution kernels will be kept.
+
 * kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
   for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
 
-* eal: function ``rte_bsf64`` in ``rte_bitmap.h`` has been renamed to
-  ``rte_bsf64_safe`` and moved to ``rte_common.h``. A new ``rte_bsf64`` function
-  will be added in the next release in ``rte_common.h`` that follows convention
-  set by existing ``rte_bsf32`` function.
-
 * eal: both declaring and identifying devices will be streamlined in v18.11.
   New functions will appear to query a specific port from buses, classes of
   device and device drivers. Device declaration will be made coherent with the

-* mbuf: The opaque ``mbuf->hash.sched`` field will be updated to support generic
-  definition in line with the ethdev TM and MTR APIs. Currently, this field
-  is defined in librte_sched in a non-generic way. The new generic format
-  will contain: queue ID, traffic class, color. Field size will not change.

-
 * mbuf: the macro ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()`` will be removed in v18.08 or later and
   replaced with ``RTE_MBUF_CLONED()`` which is already added in v18.05. As
   ``EXT_ATTACHED_MBUF`` is newly introduced in v18.05, ``RTE_MBUF_INDIRECT()``

-* pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
-  are expected in subsequent release.

-  - ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
