[ot][wrong] coreboot community thing

[Undiscussed Horrific Abuse, One Victim of Many]

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.

I engaged some discussion on irc, dunno if that's logged though
