  As part of a larger work on selecting parts of DPDK of interests for
users, enabling deprecated libraries won't be done via the disable_libs
build option anymore.

An example of the new build option can be found at:

 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.
