Retirement of fsl-imx51 in Karmic

[Tobin Davis]

Just out of curiosity, why not use the same kernel as in Lucid?  They
are the same base kernel, just built for different HW (armv6+vfp vs
armv7).

And the issue with the boards at the sprint was on bbg 2.5 boards from
what I understood.

If the future isn't what it used to be, does that mean that the past
is subject to change in times to come?
