DCCP was marked as Orphan in the MAINTAINERS entry 2 years ago in commit
054c4610bd05 ("MAINTAINERS: dccp: move Gerrit Renker to CREDITS"). It says
we haven't heard from the maintainer for five years, so DCCP is not well
maintained for 7 years now.
Recently DCCP only receives updates for bugs, and major distros disable it
by default.
Removing DCCP would allow for better organisation of TCP fields to reduce
the number of cache lines hit in the fast path.
Let's add a deprecation notice when DCCP socket is created and schedule its
removal to 2025.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
