[U-Boot] FW: I want to use Barebox

[ANDY KENNEDY]

Wolfgang corresponded with me over the weekend asking me to (in the
interest of being fair) repost this message to the U-Boot list as well
to allow you the opportunity to expound upon the benefits of U-Boot
as our selection for our in-house universal boot loader.

You guys know best the glories of U-Boot.  Convince me.

Subject: I want to use Barebox

I first saw Barebox about a year ago, did a little poking around and
realized that this seems like the way to go for booting an embedded
system.  I am, however, meeting opposition to implementing Barebox in
our current system.  I need some help on questions I cannot answer.  If
you could, please take the time to answer the following few issues.

1)  I have a concern that barebox is not mainstream enough yet.

2)  I have a feeling we will always be porting everyone's bsp (that
    already has a working u-boot) to barebox.

3)  I also don't really see the real advantage over standard u-boot
    (what's the 'killer' application?).
