Just to finally explain my reasoning to start this thread. My intention 
was to leave some code for still widely used boards visible in the sources.

E.g. at the time I've started to modify u-board for a custom board, I've 
looked at the sources to find a similiar board and started to change the 
code for that. I would never have had a look at the repository to check 
if there once was a time where code for a similiar board was available.

And the thoughts in a crufty place of my brain were escpecially about 
all the Atmel-boards. But it already seems some people found the time to 
start checking/fixing the code for them.

Besides that I don't have had any arguments against removing code for 
unmaintained boards and I don't know how many and which long dead boards 
are resting in peace in the source (and since when). But the number of 
100 is really impressive, so I think I'm wrong and I shouldn't have 
started this discussion.

Regards,

Alexander
