---------------------------
+What: CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
+When: Release 2009-11
+
+Why: U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs. New drivers with
+ the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
+ this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment.
+
+ All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
+ In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+ will be removed, effectively making it the only API. This should
+ provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
+ all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.
