coreboot is currently experiencing a small disagreement about removing the intel quark board from the tree. i'm experiencing paranoia around it. the arguments to plan to delete it are persistent and quick, and seem to generally completely ignore logic to the contrary. it would be appropriate to call something out or express important community practices, to protect the project, but with my paranoid psychosis I can't tell what's true and would contribute to the problem. problems don't seem immidiately imminent, but I feel responsible, and i've seen projects break apart a lot. it's unfortunate when proposals to remove things align with burdenedness or distractedness of those using or maintaining them. simply watching to learn hasn't really worked in the past, since I learn so poorly now. coreboot had its major deletion last decade, when swathes of boards were removed. the board i'm tinkering with porting forward was one of them. on a blockchain git system, i'd just follow the forks that don't delete stuff. but without p2p organisation, my fears start building; I imagine people coming in and removing every board from coreboot until it is empty! or removing boards that suppressed voices need at important times. gerrit: https://review.coreboot.org/c/coreboot/+/63283 mailing list thread: https://mail.coreboot.org/hyperkitty/list/coreboot@coreboot.org/thread/YRJQI... I engaged some discussion on irc, dunno if that's logged though
