Maxime is doing a great job for maintaining this admittedly not very well architected and documented SoC "family" - in his spare time. Also the actual end user experience is probably just fine (despite broken DT compatibility), since on these storage-less boards the distributions usually ship DT, firmware (U-Boot) and kernel bundled together. This does not qualify for breaking the DT deliberately, but we are about to fix this as we speak. Also my concern was just that I wanted to move away from this being the only way of running Linux on those boards. We may think about collecting DTBs and firmware for those boards in a central place without direct connection to a certain Linux version or distribution. This would make the whole idea more visible and would make compatibility breaks more evident.
