+ <title>Legacy parts of erl_interface</title>
+ <p>The old legacy <seealso marker="erl_interface:index"><c>erl_interface</c></seealso>
+ library (functions with prefix <c>erl_</c>) will be removed as of
+ OTP 23. These parts of <c>erl_interface</c> has been informally deprecated
+ for a very long time, and was formally deprecated in OTP 22. You typically
+ want to replace the usage of the <c>erl_interface</c> library with the use
+ of the <c>ei</c> library which also is part of the <c>erl_interface</c>
+ application.</p>
