Ok, marking it 'Orphaned' is probably the right choice then, or the x86 maintainers can decide to remove it right away. >> Are you aware of any Geode users that still update their kernels? >> I found that OpenWRT still publishes Geode builds (with XO-1 >> disabled, but everything else built in) but no indication that >> anyone has actually run these after around 2017. > > Personally I don't know anyone, but I feel like those Geode thin clien= ts=20 > are more likely to still be in use.

Ah right, I was only looking at the embedded boards that have custom arch/x86/platform/ code. I guess the thin clients would generally just work as long as the SoC and south bridge drivers are there? I'm also less worried about the thin clients, as they are unlikely to be used for anything mission-critical but were rather repurposed after the original owner replaced them with with Arm or x86-64 machines in the 2010s.
