I personally believe that the terminal output capabilities of U-Boot (ie having serial or other output almost as soon as you can run C code) is one of the biggest strong points of u-boot, and are very useful when doing a board bringup or debugging non-working boards. Changing that would be a mistake on my opinion (even for reducing code size/complexity).
Sorry; let me be more specific; any objection to moving device initialization to *after* relocation to RAM. I'm not asking about removing console output.
Initialization of some devices could even be deferred until they are really used like PCMCIA/IDE or DTT.
