-config AUTOFS4_FS
-	tristate "Kernel automounter version 4 support (also supports v3 and v5)"
-	default n
-	depends on AUTOFS_FS = n
-	help
-	  The automounter is a tool to automatically mount remote file systems
-	  on demand. This implementation is partially kernel-based to reduce
-	  overhead in the already-mounted case; this is unlike the BSD
-	  automounter (amd), which is a pure user space daemon.
-
-	  To use the automounter you need the user-space tools from
-	  <https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/daemons/autofs/>; you also want
-	  to answer Y to "NFS file system support", below.
-
-	  This module is in the process of being renamed from autofs4 to
-	  autofs. Since autofs is now the only module that provides the
-	  autofs file system the module is not version 4 specific.
-
-	  The autofs4 module is now built from the source located in
-	  fs/autofs. The autofs4 directory and its configuration entry
-	  will be removed two kernel versions from the inclusion of this
-	  change.
-
-	  Changes that will need to be made should be limited to:
-	  - source include statments should be changed from autofs_fs4.h to
-	    autofs_fs.h since these two header files have been merged.
-	  - user space scripts that manually load autofs4.ko should be
-	    changed to load autofs.ko. But since the module directory name
-	    and the module name are the same as the file system name there
-	    is no need to manually load module.
-	  - any "alias autofs autofs4" will need to be removed.
-	  - due to the autofs4 module directory name not being the same as
-	    its file system name autoloading didn't work properly. Because
-	    of this kernel configurations would often build the module into
-	    the kernel. This may have resulted in selinux policies that will
-	    prevent the autofs module from autoloading and will need to be
-	    updated.
-
-	  Please configure AUTOFS_FS instead of AUTOFS4_FS from now on.
-
-	  NOTE: Since the modules autofs and autofs4 use the same file system
-		type name of "autofs" only one can be built. The "depends"
-		above will result in AUTOFS4_FS not appearing in .config for
-		any setting of AUTOFS_FS other than n and AUTOFS4_FS will
-		appear under the AUTOFS_FS entry otherwise which is intended
-		to draw attention to the module rename change.
