Dear Otavio Salvador,

Sorry, but this "There is no reason to continue using uImage" is a
phrase which challenges my protest.

Actually switching from uImage to zImage is a serious deterioration.
uImages have a number of properties that are extremely useful, and
especially in embedded environments; none of these are available for
zImages.  The only problem is that uImage support has never been
correctly implemented in the ARM Linux kernel, and that fixes have
never been accepted (for various [non-technical] reasons).

Switching to zImage means to take the path of least resistance, and
chose the worst of the possible solutions, technically.

It would make much more sense to push forward and use FIT images,
instead.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
