U-Boot-v2 is used here to do real work in our projects. If it isn't what you need, it is perfectly fine if you ignore it.
my concern isnt really narrow to the Blackfin port. i was using it as a practical example. we've talked about v2 in the past as the answer to many of our problems and so we dont bother doing it in v1. but that approach looks to be wrong as v2 is of little practical importance. instead we should be doing what Jean-Christophe is doing: poaching good ideas until we get to the point where v2 can simply die.
If you mean "you" while saying "we", then yes, it may be correct that this is your plan. "We" don't have any plans to let v2 die.
Should we be mindful of the future? But not at the expense of the moment. Be mindful of the living Force, my young Padawan.
i never said "kill it now"; quite the opposite really. in fact, it looks like you really arent taking your own saying to heart. my point is to look to the future and stop wasting resources. if v1 incorporates all the features of v2, then v2 has no purpose at all except to split development and waste peoples time.
Well as you said at the moment there is not much community around u-boot-v2, so it's basically *our* time which we waste, and we are free to do so. At the moment it seems you're wasting *your* time by warming up this stupid discussion which Jerry already led to a nice ending.
Indeed. Let this thread die. There is nothing wrong with v2 going off and trying something new.
