I'm actually not sure if this warning is necessary. I' don't mind having
people opening issues in the repo if they want to use another version.
If we see several requests for another branch we'll move the task higher
up our todo list ;)

Thanks for the patch. Hope those configurations have been useful.

Note that the plan is to merge 8MP GA release (NXP "5.4.70_2.3.0") in
time for 2021.02 and have that branch supported.

Regards,
Gary
