Not quite, it's "why delete it if it might work?". This is still
ideological of course, so the question becomes what we find valuable.

I e.g. do not consider it at all valuable to only keep code for the
last n Intel platform generations, in spite of knowing that only
those have any value whatsoever for the vast majority of coreboot users.

But coreboot is not a company and thus not restricted to only value
market demand or otherwise proven utility. We can have other values
and I do.

Does anyone know that the platform *doesn't* work?

Are there any practical concerns whatsoever?


For me, at a very minimum both those questions must have a yes answer
to qualify deletion.

Reducing scope is always satisfying but that's not a good reason to
delete platforms.

It is of course very easy to manufacture practical concerns, but
maybe that's a fair enough hurdle for arbitrary deletion...
