+---------------------------
+
+What: ip_queue and ip6_queue (old ipv4-only and ipv6-only netfilter queue)
+When: December 2005
+Why: This interface has been obsoleted by the new layer3-independent
+ "nfnetlink_queue". The Kernel interface is compatible, so the old
+ ip[6]tables "QUEUE" targets still work and will transparently handle
+ all packets into nfnetlink queue number 0. Userspace users will have
+ to link against API-compatible library on top of libnfnetlink_queue
+ instead of the current 'libipq'.
