   Target release for removal of the legacy API will be defined once most
   PMDs have switched to rte_flow.
 
+* ethdev: In v18.11 ``rte_eth_dev_attach()`` and ``rte_eth_dev_detach()``
+  will be removed.
+  Hotplug functions ``rte_eal_hotplug_add()`` and ``rte_eal_hotplug_remove()``
+  should be used instread.
+  Function ``rte_eth_dev_get_port_by_name()`` may be used to find
+  identifier of the added port.
+
 * pdump: As we changed to use generic IPC, some changes in APIs and structure
   are expected in subsequent release.
