I'm not sure what you mean here?
Let me ask one more question.
How strict is the MW rule in U-Boot development?
Pretty strict, but we are no fanatics. If your patch is clearly local only (say, affecting definitely only your own board), then we may bend the rules a bit. Massiveglobal changes are a strict no, no, though.
I can't say for sure because I'm quite new here, but the development looks (at least to me) to keep going regardless of the MW status.
Of course development goes on continuously. But patches willnot be accepted into the current mainline tree until the net MW opens. Often there will be "next" trees or similar in the respective custodians repositories.
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
