Yes, I know that the proposed timeline for the removal of AVR32 support
deviates from the usual guideline of a one-year notice. However, AVR32
has become such a pain to maintain, with apparently no users caring
about it, that I don't feel like supporting that for one more year. I
agree that there should be a consensus amongst the Buildroot developers
about this, so I'm hoping to collect a bunch of Acked-by on this patch.
Thanks,
Thomas
