That should be "After Release 2011.03", of course.
[Will fix when I apply, assuming nobody protests...]

should this be 2011.03, or did I misunderstand anything?

- All ARM boards need to be adapted to this new code, which

- Please see the commit message of commit f1d2b31 for details:

- Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed
- after release v2010.03; all boards that have not been
here, too, and also in your 2010.09 release note

Yes, no.
- Support for CONFIG_SYS_ARM_WITHOUT_RELOC will be removed

Yes, you are right.
But at least I used this wrong date consistently :-)
Will fix it globally.
