 \noindent
-For compatibility with previous versions of Linux, the first 64 PTYs
-are replicated under this device number.  This use is deprecated with
-the release of Linux 2.0 and may be removed in a future version of
-Linux.  To ensure proper operation, do not mix old and new PTY devices.
+Older versions of the Linux kernel used this major number for BSD PTY
+devices.  As of Linux 2.1.115, this is no longer supported.  Use major
+numbers 2 and 3.
