None of these removals affect any currently active FreeBSD as far as
I know. The old XSCALE boards are vanishingly rare inside the project.
These files don’t make up the more popular AVILA or CAMBRIA boards
that were used by at least a few developers in the project. The Samsung
stuff doesn’t affect any of these current Chromebook users, and its been
a while since those boards were current and never were that popular
in the project.

As we’ve been cleaning up the ARM support, support for these systems
just have added extra work. And they were impossible to test since there
were so few (no?) resources to test them on.
