If we're going to aim for deprecating and eventually removing some of our unmaintained device and board models, it seems to me that a good first step would be to come up with a definition of what our baseline "needs to be at least this good" level is. I'm guessing that ought to include at least "devices are QOM" and "uses vmstate rather than save/load functions".
So (a) are there any other things we want to include? (b) does anybody feel like writing up a helpful wiki page on how to update old devices, that we can point prospective maintainers at? (In particular I would appreciate the documentation on how to write a state-of-the-art QOMified device as I don't really have a good idea myself...) thanks -- PMM
