thats not valid for us. Our mgcoge3ne target which comes with a MPC8247 is still
in production and maintained. If you look at the git log of
include/configs/km82xx.h you will see that there were still commits in 2013.
Even if there are no further changes expected yet, it's still possible that we
need to adapt something e.g. if the SDRAM needs to be replaced in the future.

So isn't it possible to remove only the broken boards and keep the generic parts?

Best regards
Holger
