Re: [PATCH 1/2] Deprecate sysctl syscall interface


I don't think it makes sense at all to add a new symbol version for 
something being deprecated.  If you deprecate a symbol, you make the 
*existing* version into a compat symbol, and stop it being declared and 
stop it being defined for new ports and static linking.
