According to the current situation, we have the choice of getting good
code into a board directory or no code at all because Prafulla doesn't
accept the code in its current incarnation into a general place.  I
don't need a crystal ball to see that the project will loose code this
way.  I'm sorry that the project rejects working code and I re-ask
Prafulla to reconsider his NAK which has impact on the whole project.

Cheers
  Detlev
