August is fine; it's our sloppiness that the remove announcement did not go in earlier. People who run external projects that use such symbols might have had forewarning by the previous discussion rounds on linux1394-devel.

Now that we are at it, the following EXPORT_SYMBOLs should be removed too... _csr1212_read_keyval _csr1212_destroy_keyval
