   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
-* ethdev: A new rss level field planned in 18.05.
-  The new API add rss_level field to ``rte_eth_rss_conf`` to enable a choice
-  of RSS hash calculation on outer or inner header of tunneled packet.
-
-* ethdev: A work is being planned for 18.05 to expose VF port representors
-  as a mean to perform control and data path operation on the different VFs.
-  As VF representor is an ethdev port, new fields are needed in order to map
-  between the VF representor and the VF or the parent PF. Those new fields
-  are to be included in ``rte_eth_dev_info`` struct.
-
 * i40e: The default flexible payload configuration which extracts the first 16
   bytes of the payload for RSS will be deprecated starting from 18.02. If
   required the previous behavior can be configured using existing flow

   - ``rte_pdump_set_socket_dir`` will be removed;
   - The parameter, ``path``, of ``rte_pdump_init`` will be removed;
   - The enum ``rte_pdump_socktype`` will be removed.

+* cryptodev: The following changes will be made in the library
+  for 18.08:
+
+  - Removal of ``sym`` structure in ``rte_cryptodev_info`` structure,
+    containing fields not relevant anymore since the session mempool
+    is not internal in the crypto device anymore.
+  - Replacement of ``pci_dev`` field with the more generic ``rte_device``
+    structure.
+  - Functions ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_attach_sym_session()`` and
+    ``rte_cryptodev_queue_pair_dettach_sym_session()`` will be deprecated from
+    18.05 and removed in 18.08, as there are no drivers doing anything useful
+    with them.
