<snip v5, etc.>

To be clear, I was also thinking about v5 longer term (as everyone is
I'm sure) but no, all I meant in the above was Kirkwood in particular.
I'm genuinely curious who relies on it now and who will test it. My
"terrible way with words" probably relates to the bit about *not*
killing off v5, which I added only to offset anyone thinking I was
suggesting something more than just trying to understand who needs
Kirkwood to work. If the only official v5 target were an emulation
platform for example, that would give a kernel but would be easier for
anyone to test if it turns out Kirkwood doesn't have enough testers.

But, apologies for the wording.

Jon.
