I'm pretty sure I'm catching all the Kconfig upper-level stuff but you
can check me.

If you remove this section in src/config/Options.lb:
###############################################
# Options for motorola/sandpoint
###############################################
...

Just one left. The embeddedplanet. I think we can leave the arch/ppc
stuff in there, because it shows people how we can do heterogeneity if
we ever want to.

Just for the record -- I will violently NACK any patches which remove
boards for the sole reason of "long dead", "old board", "vendor died",
or similar reasons.

This is pretty much the only exception as it's a PowerPC board and we
should indeed drop those, u-boot and others are way better suited
for this stuff.

But for pretty much all other boards, please do not attempt to remove
them. Thanks!

Don't forget to also remove target/motorola/* and target/totalimpact*.

ok. That said, if there is a board that might hold up progress because
it is very odd in some way, then it is a candiidate for removal.

I mainly started on the PPC because we have not had a maintainer in
years, and we have not had a tester in over 5 years. And I keep
getting warnings that they don't build.
