[meta-intel] BSP retirements from meta-intel layer

[Chris Tapp]

Following on from the "chiefriver BSP retirement thread", what is the general policy for BSP life-cycles within meta-intel?

For example, we committed to using the Cedartrail BSP a couple of years back as if offered support for what was then a new platform with a reasonable forward buy-time. However, support for that has been dropped even though boards are still available using the chipset (e.g. ASRock DN2800MT) and these are going to be available for a few years yet.

From our point of view it is a pity not to be able to make use of the improvements and enhancements that have gone into later Yocto versions, especially as we're continually updating our software.
