Mature?  And still without consequent error checking?  And done,
i.  e. this will never be fixed?

Based on that logic we should stop supporting Linux, and stop using
DTs or file systems - all of these are under "active outside
development".

This is a bogus argiment.

OK, this is your opinion.  Mine differs.

Please consider this as a full NAK from me when when you think of it
as a _replacement_ (even an optional one) of the standard shell. If
you like, have it added as an _additional_ command, of course fully
optional and without impact on the rest of U-Boot if not
intentionally selected.

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
