I suggest split the deprecation of 2.4-2.7 in another patch.
And when a old machine is marked as deprecated, is it necessary to
set "deprecation_reason" as commit c7437f0ddb?
I tend to set that field since boards.h said:
/**
* MachineClass:
* @deprecation_reason: If set, the machine is marked as deprecated. The
* string should provide some clear information about what to use instead.
*...
*/
And that field would be printed when user boots the machine.
Additionally, could we define rules for deprecating old machines?
For example, if it's more than 8 years old (as commit c7437f0ddb) or
after how many releases, the old machine can be considered for
deprecation.
Thanks,
Zhao
