What do you mean with 'removal' of 'USB support' and 'network support'? Do you intend that U-Boot 2012.06 be stripped of its USB code and 2012.09 of its network code?
Amicalement,

I can't speak for WD, but noone really maintains that code, what else do you expect to do with it? USB support is literally trash.

Hi Marek,

At least I would expect that the code be frozen (patches declined but existing code kept), not removed.
As far as I am concerned, network and to a lesser extent USB (YMMV, of course) are very useful features and dropping them would be a great loss for U-Boot.
Plus, I am currently working on code that relates to Ethernet. :)
Amicalement,

Freezing code paves the ground for bit rot. We would end up with the same decision just one release later when the bugs start poping up.
Best regards,

Yes.
What else can we do if there is nobody to maintain that code?

I might be able to help out with the network side. I am unsure of the qualifications needed to be a custodian though.

i've been pondering whether to help out here for a month or two. i know you're not entirely serious wrt removal, but i guess i can try being the net guy for now and see how it works out. i've done enough grubbing in the drivers/net/ and net/ code at this point to understand it. then it's "just" a matter of time. -mike
