The word 'drop' has ominous connotations, but it's not a deletion. A
board is never really gone. It's git. I can still find the Alpha
boards in there if I go back far enough. It's just that active
development ends, as no one is working to keep them up to date.

With all due respect, dropping support for the majority of AMD boards
- with a quite significant community around them! - doesn't seem like
a wise decision, if we still care about the coreboot marketshare on
the worldwide-available consumer PCs. Small improvement in the common

could be continued in the 4.18 branch.
That timeline of 8.5 months does sound

and so on, it's easy for people to get to a working build for a board;

I would like to suggest to deprecate some legacy codepaths inside the
coreboot tree and therefore make some newer ones mandatory.
