Continued need for ATAGS-based booting?

As part of working on cleaning up documentation, I ended up seeing just
how few boards still enable support for ATAGS-based OS booting. In fact,
the list is:
brcp150 brcp170 brcp1_1r brcp1_1r_switch brcp1_2r brsmarc2 chagall
dockstar dreamplug ds109 ds116 ds414 endeavoru goflexhome grouper
icnova-a20-swac iconnect ideapad-yoga-11 lschlv2 lsxhl mocha mot n1
n2350 nsa310s nsa325 openrd_base openrd_client openrd_ultimate ouya
picasso pogo_e02 pogo_v4 qc750 sheevaplug star stemmy surface-2
surface-rt tegratab tf701t transformer_t20 transformer_t30 x3_t30
And my question is, for you board maintainers, do you still need to
actively support booting such old Linux kernels? Or can we disable this
support and then possibly be able to remove the underlying code as well.
Thanks!
