+What: Netlink message and attribute parsing macros
+When: July 2007
+Why: The old interface which often lead to buggy code has been replaced
+ with a new type safe interface. Parts of this interface, mainly
+ macros, has been exported to userspace via linux/netlink.h and
+ linux/rtnetlink.h. Use of this interface is discontinued, all helper
+ and utility macros will be removed. Userspace applications should use
+ one of the available libraries.
