The following is a list of commands or features that are deprecated.  All
deprecated utils are in maintenance mode and we keep them in source tree for
backward compatibility only.

What:   line(1) command
Why:    useless, nobody uses this command, head(1) is better

--------------------------

What:	losetup -s
Why:	the option -s is in collision with the Loop-AES losetup dialect that is used
        in some distributions. Use the long version (--show) only.

--------------------------

Why:	depreciated in favor of dm-crypt.

---------------------------

What:	elvtune

What:	arch(1) command
Why:	deprecated in favor of uname(1) or arch(1) from coreutils

	where it will be maintained as an alias for uname(1) command.

----------------------------

Why:	deprecated in favor of kill from procps or bash build-in kill command
