The following modules are formally deprecated in the 7.0 release, and will not be added to the modular tree: 

* Display PostScript 
* Speedo font module & fonts (disabled by default in 6.8 and 6.9) 
* The wacom(4) input driver; the [[linuxwacom|http://linuxwacom.sf.net/]] project provides a superior replacement.
 
The following modules will not be included in the 7.0 release if no maintainer is forthcoming: 

* Xsun and XsunLynx DDXes.

The following subsystems are scheduled to be removed after the 7.0 release: 

* All module loader backends besides the libdl backend. 
* The "Keyboard" driver (deprecated in 6.8 in favor of "kbd" driver on platforms that support it) 
      * "kbd" doesn't work on 2.4-kernel sparcs, apparently because of some kernel keymap problems. And 2.6 kernels aren't working well on sparcs yet for other reasons.
