Since 20.11 is going to be ABI incompatible with previous versions anyway, can we not have the function as a macro alias for the new, allowing us to remove the old sooner without breaking any apps? Even if this is not the case, I think it might be better to change "21.11 version" to "a future release" to allow us some flexibility on when to remove them in case we can remove them sooner. > + > + The iterator for worker lcores will also change: > + ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_SLAVE`` will be replaced with > + ``RTE_LCORE_FOREACH_WORKER``. > + > + The ``master-lcore`` argument to testpmd will be replaced > + with ``initial-lcore``. > -- With the above comment.

It doesn't say that the old argument will be kept for compatibility in 20.11.

Testpmd is not part of API/ABI compatibility area so it is not a hard requirement.

Not really hard, but I would say it is annoying enough to consider maintaining compatibility in testpmd for some time.
