--- This message came from the IEEE 802.11 Working Group Reflector ---Just to be clear: deprecation is easy: you just put "X is deprecated"
in one or two places. Removing a feature can indeed be a lot of work,
but that seldom happens (and you have to mark the feature obsolete
and subject to removal first, too). Deprecation just means you'd not
going to worry about maintaining that feature.
Thanks,
Mark

Hi Mark,
My opinion is against removing IBSS and MBSS. To me, it would be a lot of work to remove IBSS and MBSS. And once the work was done and published, we'd find people upset with us for doing the work.

11me/D1.0 CIDs 1639, 1640 and 1641 propose to mark IBSS, PBSS and MBSS
respectively as deprecated, on the basis that it is not clear anyone cares
about these modes of operation anymore, and that they are not being
maintained (or alternatively one could say the cost of maintaining
them is not worth it, or the expertise needed to maintain them is
lacking).
This thread is to solicit opinions on these proposals.
Thanks,
Mark
