non whitelist api in Redhat 6.x

[K Mehta]

Hi Gurus,

   I have heard that few apis  might be removed from Redhat white list
of apis in 6.x. This includes kill_pid, send_sig_info, etc.
  Is any one aware why this is being done. Do we have better
alternatives to these apis (kill_proc and send_signal or something
else)?


TIA.
