Why is ar71xx no longer going to be supported?

This includes Netgear WNDR-3700-v4 which is a very popular and reliable router in the OpenWRT community.

Hi all,

I've sent a few reminders about this topic already, and in yesterday's virtual 
meeting we decided to finally remove the 4.14 kernel support in master _before_ 
branching a 20.xx branch.

Therefore, I announce that the support for 4.14 as well as the following 
targets not updated beyond this version will be removed from master in _two 
weeks_:

ar71xx
at91
ath25
rb532
samsung
uml

The corresponding patchset is already available for illustration here (same 
patches, just two different platforms):
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/adrian.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/remove414
https://github.com/adschm/openwrt/commits/remove414

If somebody wants to upgrade one of the named targets to 5.4 to prevent it from 
being removed, now is your last chance!

("Recent" committers to the targets in Cc.)

Best

Adrian
