Although they are starting to be replaced, Beagle and Beagle xM are particularly popular boards in the community at large. What is the rationale behind discontinuing support for these boards at this particular point in time? Will we still continue to produce best-effort "community" builds (as for some other boards)? EOL-ing popular boards could weaken our links to the community, so we need to think carefully about it.
