The other problem is that it hasn't a DT conversion, and there are
lot of crufty platforms, and crufty hooks in various drivers and
core code.

It's been mentioned a few times that it might be time to go to a minimal
DT only port and then regrow what people are actually using, but for
that we need indiciations of what people are actually using.

And yes, it does need a proper maintainer, and some actual maintainer
option like cutting down unused machine support.
