Which ones? This should not have happened.

You are right, the last release cycles took quite long. But I am wondering, 
did Kim pull your changes into his 83xx custodian repository and ask Wolfgang 
to pull from it?

I have a different observation here. From my point of view, we are doing quite 
good with all the new custodians in place. It could work better of course, 
and we are all still learning. But I think we are on the "right track".

Please note that this release cycle mechanism is still new to U-Boot. So 
hopefully the next cycles will be "less painful".

This "relocation bug" has been in the master git repository for quite a while 
now. Nobody complained about it until a few weeks ago.

And yes, please help doing more testing. :)

Thanks.

Best regards,
Stefan
