Hello Wolfgang,
Recently I dumped several mpc8xx, mpc82xx etc. boards which had been orphaned or without maintainers.
Are there any other (almost) hopeless boards?
Those boards without generic-board conversion will be removed sooner or later.
If more unmaintained boards could be dropped earlier, that would lead to our easier life, I think.
(Please don't get me wrong. I understand u-boot started with PowerPC, especially 8xx and they are special for you. I don't want to break your heart by deleting the old boards. If you are willing to maintain them (= keep up with global changes), that's no problem. But if not, they should be dumped at some point.)
Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

Hi,
According to my calculations, as of commit 80a7cac we now have more than 238 boards converted to generic board, out of 1171. That is a little over 20%, which is a big improvement from last release. I am unable to include MIPS or ARM64 so it is an under-estimate.
