At least I would expect that the code be frozen (patches declined but 
existing code kept), not removed.

As far as I am concerned, network and to a lesser extent USB (YMMV, of 
course) are very useful features and dropping them would be a great loss 
for U-Boot.

Plus, I am currently working on code that relates to Ethernet. :)

Amicalement,
