Branching
I know some people are easily offended by the thought, but I want to mention it anyway as it seems to me like a cheap solution for the com- munity as a whole. We could maintain platforms on separate branches.
Is this different than the status quo?
Yes, these ports wouldn't hold the master branch back anymore.
Meant the status quo approach of deprecating boards and leaving to an older branch. I think you are saying it would be a named branch instead.
Well, if I wanted to maintain a branch I would make it dedicated to these specific ports. That would probably be easier to maintain than a release branch that covers all ports of the given time. Also, it seems to me that leaving things on an anonymous release branch provides too much hope that somebody else will do the work ;)
