Let's table the discussion of agesa (and other) platform removal for now. As Patrick said in the 4.2 release announcement, a plan for the removal of code is being written and will be posted for discussion shortly.

I strongly disagree with this branching "solution". Why? Because - if building all the targets is slow - then just don't build all the targets at once! If you need a fast build and you are not concerned about AMD boards - just because you don't have any - it is always possible to skip AGESA build without moving it to a branch and separating from the rest of the coreboot code . So this is seen as a really bad excuse

I do agree technically with this, however there's no policy in place for what happens when an AGESA build finally does fire and it's found the related source broke some time ago. I think that's the main reason for wanting to stuff AGESA in a branch; separation of maintainaince.
One one hand, having recently been the victim of having some of my native init patches fail Jenkins builds due to AGESA breakage, I'd almost like to see this happen. On the other hand, I know exactly how painful sync across branches can be, so I can't recommend it.
