But removing them requires updating the drivers/net/softnic code to use the= new API, which is not going to be completed in time for release 21.11. So given this lag, it might be better to simply promote these functions to = stable API now, as Ray suggests, instead of continuing to keep them experim= ental; then, once these functions are no longer used, then we can remove th= em, most likely in 22.11. So I will ack these patches, but I am willing to reconsider if you feel str= ongly against this approach. Regards, Cristian
