Actually, that's the part I wanted to document.  Not the actual removal
(or maybe in addition to anyway).  So far, we've just been saying
"basically frozen", "I think we stopped taking new submissions", etc.
If that's the case, just officially declare it frozen somehow in the
kernel source.

Of course, that would mean Paul needs to officially say that with the
big maintainer stamp :).
