+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:	chkdupexe
+Why:	unnecessary, in Perl, not used in distributions, possible to replace
+        by a simple shell script.
+
+--------------------------
+
+What:   'udev' and 'list' blkid(8) output formats
+Why:    udevd links libblkid directly; the 'list' is unnecessary, use lsblk(8)
+
+--------------------------
+
+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.
+
+--------------------------
+
+What:	cryptoloop support in mount/losetup
+Why:	depreciated in favor of dm-crypt.
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:	elvtune
+Why:	useless for kernel >= 2.6.9
+
+---------------------------
+
+What:	arch(1) command
+Why:	deprecated in favor of uname(1) or arch(1) from coreutils
+
+	The arch(1) has been added (during 2.13 development cycle) to coreutils
+	where it will be maintained as an alias for uname(1) command.
+
+----------------------------
+
+What:	newgrp(1)
+Why:	deprecated in favor of newgrp from shadow-utils
+
+----------------------------
+
+What:	vipw/vigr(8)
+Why:	deprecated in favor of vipw/vigr(8) from shadow-utils
+
+----------------------------
+
+What:	last(1)
+Why:	nobody uses this implementation
+
