I think we should also take board_status[1] into account here. If a
board has recently (for some value of "recently") been successfully
booted into linux, the support can't be completely broken.

There is such a page in the wiki[2]. It's probably incomplete. It
doesn't list commits, either.

We could migrate it into git, maybe, and make it a requirement that
every commit that deletes a board updates the list.
