Could you mention it in feature-removal-schedule.txt? (People check that for warning of upcoming changes that impact existing code. They may not notice something elsewhere after they've got it working...) (Also, sorting feature-removal-schedule.txt by date would be really nice. The sucker's gotten huge...) And while I'm looking at this, is there some other place that entries in this file go once they _have_ been removed, so people can see "oh yeah, that went away in 2.6.23) when they try to install 2.6.25? If there is, I missed it. Maybe http://lwn.net/Articles/2.6-kernel-api/ is good enough, but this seems easy to do in Documentation...
