I think everything is already in the 2.26 Depreciated section. Â This
was done when the original patch to remove libnss_compat was made.
These changes are just dealing with the fact that that patch was
incomplete.

* The NIS(+) name service modules, libnss_nis, libnss_nisplus, and
  libnss_compat, are deprecated, and will not be built or installed by
  default.

  The NIS(+) support library, libnsl, is also deprecated.  By default, a
  compatibility shared library will be built and installed, but not headers
  or development libraries. Only a few NIS-related programs require this
  library.  (In particular, the GNU C Library has never required programs
  that use 'gethostbyname' to be linked with libnsl.)

  Replacement implementations based on TIRPC, which additionally support
  IPv6, are available from <https://github.com/thkukuk/>.  The configure
  option --enable-obsolete-nsl will cause libnsl's headers, and the NIS(+)
  name service modules, to be built and installed.
