The question is the timeframe. I think when many of these boards will 
get removed with the next release, that's a bit short. Finding the stuff 
which doesn't work through the relocation is time consuming and people 
have to find the time to do this for older boards for which they 
currently don't actively develop. E.g for some of the boards under 
active development it has needed the last 3 month.
