Deprecation Notices
-------------------
+* build: Enabling deprecated libraries (``flow_classify``, ``kni``) won't be
+ possible anymore through the use of the ``disable_libs`` build option. A
+ new build option for deprecated libraries will be introduced instead.
+
* kvargs: The function ``rte_kvargs_process`` will get a new parameter
for returning key match count. It will ease handling of no-match case.
