As has been mentioned both on the IRC and here to various other patches 
that update without out removing the older version, we ask why is the 
older version still needed.

In certain cases, such as changing licenses (GPLv2 -> GPLv3), we keep 
the older version, in the case of the toolchain and eglibc, we keep n-1 
around while we stability n.

It appears that u-boot is one of those special cases, but I do not have 
enough information in the logs to determine why we are not removing the 
older recipes.

Otavio, any reason we need to keep 3 older versions?

Sau!
