It might be good to allow for several versions of U-Boot though, if some release do break a board or architecture. The reason for providing prepatched U-boot in the Atmel directory is the AT91. The AT91 team failed to get even a reply when they submitted patches, so they basically gave up. Now, the U-Boot project has changed strategy and there is a significant number of "Custodians" and the AT91 team has been working with third parties which are subitting patches to the Custodians on almost daily basis. I hope the situation will stabilize and that the AT91 stuff can be merged in mainstream buildroot during the summer.
