Great summary.

There seemed to be a consensus to remove h8300, at least so far and sufficiently
enough for me to ask Stephen to add the removal branch to linux-next.
We'll see if that triggers any further responses.

With score, I am not entirely sure. I got one Ack for the removal, but
on the other side the score maintainers came back and claimed they would
still support it. We'll see if anything changes in practice. I am still
not sure if I should ask for the removal branch to be added to linux-next.
Frankly I thought I might jump the gun here more than with h8300.

Either case, what to ultimately do with those two architectures will be
up to the community to decide.
