UML_NET_VECTOR now supports filters compiled with pcap outside of UML; it also supports: EoGRE, EoL2TPv3, RAW (+/- BPF), TAP and BESS. While vector drivers are not 1:1 replacements for the existing drivers, you can achieve the same topologies and the same connectivity at much higher performance (2.5 to 9 Gbit on mid-range Ryzen desktop) - the old drivers test out in the 500Mbit range on the same hardware. For all these reasons, the non-vector based transports are now unnecessary, and some, most notably pcap and vde are maintenance burdens. Thus, it makes sense to at least start thinking about removing the non-vector transports, so for now, mark them as obsolete.
