So now that Kyle has volunteered to look after A20, I'd like to continue this thread: On Tue, Jun 12, 2018 at 10:32:48PM +0200, Emmanuel Vadot wrote: > I want to remove A31 support for FreeBSD 12: > - My A31 board (BananapiM1) just died today after a long time of being > my arm32 reference board.

I think this would be a good time to drop support for things that have gotten into this state. Do you have a complete list? Does anyone else have any objections? fwiw, I've updated the wiki to note that A20 will continue to be supported, and A10 probably will be. But there are still a number of boards listed there as "supported" that probably have not seen updates for years (specificially, some of the development boards). I'd rather let people know what we recommend for new arm users. I expect RPi, Pine64, OrangePi, and BeagleBone to be in that list ... are the CubieBoard and WandBoard still popular? What do people think? mcl
