None of these removals affect any currently active FreeBSD as far as
I know. The old XSCALE boards are vanishingly rare inside the project.
These files don=E2=80=99t make up the more popular AVILA or CAMBRIA =
boards
that were used by at least a few developers in the project. The Samsung
stuff doesn=E2=80=99t affect any of these current Chromebook users, and =
its been
a while since those boards were current and never were that popular
in the project.

As we=E2=80=99ve been cleaning up the ARM support, support for these =
systems
just have added extra work. And they were impossible to test since there
were so few (no?) resources to test them on.
