Development fork on the way

[ron minnich]

This is a warning, but no action has yet occured. It is time to lock down 
LinuxBIOS in its current state and build a development fork. 

What's going to happen is a feature freeze. We want to freeze the core and 
make sure it works for everyone. What that will mean is that once we 
freeze, almost nothing but files in src/mainboard will change, and we want 
to keep that to a minimum. 

One thing I need from everyone "owning" a mainboard: I would like you to 
email me with the names of mainboards you own. I plan to fill out the 
status files with that info. 

If a mainboard has no "owner" it will not appear in the development tree, 
since we have no way to test it. This means systems like the IBM T23 will 
disappear from the development tree. 

So please start thinking now about what mainboards you can take 
responsibility for. We need all the help we can get.

thanks
