My gut feeling on this is to either move unmaintained / inactive
boards to a separate board directory, or add a flag to boards.cfg (If
we add a flag to boards.cfg then we can specify that MAKEALL should
skip those boards)

Either way, we can then let them bit-rot (I know, bad words) but at
least if someone comes along with an actual board, they have a place
to start. This is what happened to me with the x86 arch - the existing
code was horribly broken, but at least I had a solid foundation to
start reinvigorating it.

Regards,

Graeme
