My understanding is once being in deprecated state for 2 releases, it
can be removed, but it doesn't have to be removed (assuming it is
functional and nobody complains). Am I incorrect?
I am raising this because the nanoMIPS support is in deprecated state
since more than 2 releases, but it is still in-tree and I try to keep
it functional. However, since no toolchain reached mainstream GCC/LLVM
it is not easy to maintain. By keeping it in that state we give some
time to other communities to have their toolchain upstreamed / merged.

Yes, almost 8 months :)
