The first thing that is always said when someone asks about a board they have been given/bought with an old version of U-Boot is to upgrade, pretty hard to do if it's been nuked from the tree ;)
A text file in doc, like README.historic-boards would suffice, indicating which u-boot release that board was nuked. It would also be good to mention CPU that board used. So anyone looking to support a similar board could have a look and with git its possible to get the old files.
Yeah, I think this is a good solution. Maybe mentioning the last known maintainer / major code contributor would also be helpful
Regards,
Graeme
