I have a sheevaplug that I'd be sad to have to decommission. For the last decade, with never a complaint, it's been happily serving DHCP, DNS, and NTP to about 20 machines in my home network. I like it because the slightly unusual architecture makes it slightly less attractive as a target to the bad-guys out there.
Maybe I'll replace it with a Raspberry Pi.
I'm quite happy to keep the board, if someone will step up and maintain it. It's had the initial conversion to DM done, but it needs a number of others still. Almost all of the drivers it uses have been converted already (the IDE driver being the exception).
I assume that however you're building U-Boot the warnings that get printed about conversion deadlines having come and gone are hidden in some way or another.
