So, I replied to the main thread earlier but no, we're not going to drop everything in 2 weeks, especially since there's a lot of false positives in this series. > Simon, Tom, > > is this really the usual u-boot working style to remove about hundred > boards within > two weeks without prior warning?

But, the deadline was discussed about a year ago (and then no, I didn't get a build-time warning in). Then around v2018.05 I said it wasn't going to be a removal type problem yet as we had a lot of boards to fixup still, and repeated that at v2018.07. That did lead to a lot of things getting addressed. But yes, we still have some large areas that after a few years still have not been converted, and that puts me in a hard spot too. -- Tom
