The original idea was to have both sys/mips/mediatek and sys/mips/rt305x for historical reasons and later on remove the rt305x one if there are no objections. Seeing as the mediatek support actually supports a lot more SoCs and also supports FDT, I think this is still the way to go. > It doesn't mean I've objecting to the removal, I have no interest in > mips and I don't even know the actual support on it. > >> sibyte (long obsolete, hard to get hardware) >> >> I thought I'd post a heads up here before I proposed this list to arch@. >> >> We have enough exemplars these days we don't need to keep these older ports >> around as examples anymore, and I have my doubts if we even work on these >> boards anymore. >> >> If I'm wrong about these being old, or that FreeBSD is no longer running on >> them, please let me know.
