Hello RIOTers, as announced, we've merged the PR that removes the old network stack.
The last commit before removal is 68d05197319c2645bd88f0242426fad4e96cf4e2 Issue #3417 [1] shows dropped functionality. Also, we've started a wiki-page [2] collecting features we're removing due to lack of resources, but the page is a little short on content at the moment. Happy hacking!
