Hi,

First post on list.I'm mostly UEFI-centric, currently trying to learn
u-boot...

Is there any roadmap/plan for upcoming architectural changes to U-Boot?
I recently saw the below comment on a Debian ARM list. I'm hoping u-boot
has something like that, but more detailed, for newbies like me to
understand upcoming feature changes better. Discussion on driver models,
in particular.

PS: BTW, nice to see the "U-Boot Verified Boot" feature!
