The deprecation of the old offloads API is set to 18.05 [1]. my understanding was that we agreed to convert all PMDs on 18.02.
If the PMD deadline is going to be postponed I think the ethdev deprecation should be updated.

Hi Shahaf,
I put deadlines roughly and they need to be discussed here.
But 18.02 deadline is not far away.
I think it is not realistic to expect all relevant PMDs do this conversion on
time, what do you think?
My concern is if there can be some PMD maintainers just learned that an update
is required. I put these docs for that synchronization, but not sure how
efficient or noisy it will be.
Thanks,
ferruh

I cannot tell about other vendors plans. For mlx4 and mlx5 I plan to convert on 18.02.
From the discussion we had on 17.11 for this feature we agreed to split it into 2, and the PMD part will be on 18.02. no one objected.
Maybe on the next Tech-board you can have a sync between some of the vendors to see the plans.
If not all can make it, we should postpone the deprecation of the old API.

The current plan looks good to me.
We try to migrate to the new API in 18.02.
If some drivers are not migrated in 18.02, we urge them to do so in 18.05.
And we remove the old API in 18.05.
