Hmm, because it would mean maintaining the same script as Linux uses. 
With the current solution, there's work to be done on mach-types only 
when someone needs new machine IDs.

IIUC the machines that would disappear are those for which the is no 
actual mainline Linux support and which have not been touched in over a 
year, right? Do ACTUX* and DVLHOST boards fit in this description?
