We used to use LASAT machines, but we replaced them with Broadcom SWARMs
when the LASATs became too slow and their PSUs started to fail.

[RFC] add to Category:Deprecated

[Yoichi Yuasa]

Hi all,

There are the older boards that seem to be not maintained. 
* NEC DDB5477
* LASAT Networks paltform

Is there the board that is maintained by someone?

Moreover, the following boards were in feature-removal-schedule.txt before.
* Momentum Ocelot
* Momentum Ocelot-3

Is there a board that can be added to Category:Deprecated ?

Last I checked the Lasat machines were still being used as the Debian
build daemons.

Tbm?  Ths?

No, we're using SWARM boards that were donated by Broadcom (thanks
again!).

As I recall the LASAT machines were prototypes and only a small number
ever in circulation because the company Lasat did fold.  So chances are
there is no remaining user, is that true?

Yeah, that's probably a good summary.

Do you have any comment for Momentum Ocelot?

It seems to be not maintained for one year or more.
Moreover, the Ocelot PCI support has been broken.

I use several and there is at least a few more around. I should never go
on holidays. Can I get it reinstated?

No problem.  It's too late in the game for 2.6.23 so I suggest you cook
a patchset for the next release and I'll throw that into the -queue.
