In general, EOL of a board at the vendor is of little meaning to the
U-Boot community. As long as the boards are in use, and ther eis
someone who is willing to take care of supporting it (even at the
level of running tests) we do not drop a board.

Boards get dropped only if they become a burson, i. e. if they need
fixing (or at least testing) and no active user / maintainer can be
found any more.

If we would rrop boards as soon as the vendor declares them EOL, we'd
have to spend a lof of work now on removal patches ;-)

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk

Remember, an int is not always 16 bits. I'm  not  sure,  but  if  the
80386  is one step closer to Intel's slugfest with the CPU curve that
is aymptotically approaching a real machine, perhaps an int has  been
implemented as 32 bits by some Unix vendors...?       - Derek Terveer
