Indeed. It's the current  rule  how  we  organize  boards,  and  your
personal  preferences  are  here  indeed  not reason enough to reject
these patches. Sorry.

Well, if you have better information, then please fill in the gaps
here.

No. The rule is that when we have a vendor with several boars (say,
more than 2), then we will create a vendor directory.

I understand that here the conditoon "vendor has more than 2 boards"
is fulfilled in several cases. Agreed?

You may consider it nice, we don't.

So if anything in JC's patch is incorrect, please provide information
to correct it. From what I know, the patch looks OK to me (but I have
to admit that I don't know either who the actual board vendors are).

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
