A more elaborate set of statements on my feelings about "old" boards and what needs to happen, in light of the facts that the code is messy, will require updating for DM and likelyhood of a small but devoted community around some of them.
My gut feeling on this is to either move unmaintained / inactive boards to a separate board directory, or add a flag to boards.cfg (If we add a flag to boards.cfg then we can specify that MAKEALL should skip those boards)
Either way, we can then let them bit-rot (I know, bad words) but at least if someone comes along with an actual board, they have a place to start. This is what happened to me with the x86 arch - the existing code was horribly broken, but at least I had a solid foundation to start reinvigorating it.
... and lots of strong opinions follow. Which is why I wanted a separate thread (so more folks see it) and we start from what I hope is a reasoned approach we can all mostly agree on :)
