Ummm... because you are listed as the board  maintainer?  Either  you
accept  your  responsibility  for  your  code and maintain it, or you
decide the board is not needed any more and should be  removed,  then
it is your responsibility to submit a patch to remove it.

Your fire-and-forget attitude (first I get this into mainline as long
as it makes sense for me; when I lose interest I  just  go  away  and
leave the dirty work to others) is not exactly in line with community
spirit.


I think you are on thin ice here - first neglecting your  responsibi-
lities  as a board maintainer, and then complaining that the board is
not in the state you  think  it  should  be,  expresses  a  *lot*  of
ignorance.
