[U-Boot] [ANN] U-Boot v2018.03 released

Hey all,
We're a day off schedule, but I wanted to see a final comment on one last bug fix. So, now, I've released v2018.03 and it's live on git and FTP and ACD (along with the PGP sig file).
In terms of big new features, we now have limited support for determining at run-time where the environment should be read from and stored. The biggest user of this is for Allwinner SoCs where you're expected to migrate to having the environment stored as a file in FAT instead of directly in the MMC device. I'll let the custodians follow up here with more details.
Another thing is that while I've said this for a few -rc releases, I'm going to spell it out again here and now. Boards and SoC families, etc, that have been orphaned for more than a year should probably get dropped. I've contacted a few people off-list (which is why we've had a few pickups of late) for things, but if you know someone that would be interested in something, please speak up.
Thanks all!
