Well, me?  I'm all in favor of people using latest release of U-Boot for
their board and yelling and screaming (or just reporting bugs) when
things don't work.  I'm biased of course.  And assuming rmk answers the
way I expect he will, like it or not, the version(s) we kit up and get
in the box need to be factored into our test system setup so if folks
don't want to avail themselves of improvements, they still get a
functional system too.
