Ulf has made it pretty clear that he thinks that I am just a show
stopper for all his efforts, and that I don't have a clue what he's
talking about. It seems I cannot help that, so I keep my mouth shut
here.
I promise that we will provide the infrastructure (git repos) for the
custodians as fast as possible. As far as I can see, at the moment
this affects only ARM boards, so please run this throught he ARM
custodian then (Peter Pearse). If it's acceptable to him, and nobody
else complains, I will accept this, too.

It's unreasonable, and impossible.
We have a pretty big selection of boards in our lab, but nevertheless
I've never been able to test any change on all architectures and
boards. And nobody else will ever do that.

And actually in some cases we will simply have to push it into
mainline - in the past, there has often been very little of even zero
feedback for patches or test branches. Some people simply don't wake
up before their board does not compile any more in the standard tree.
I cannot help this, and we will definitely not wait to see an ACK for
each and every board that is listed in the U-Boot tree.
Best regards,
