Understood. I'm not sure how much of a 'standard' would be applied by all maintainers, but it would be nice to have a standard to reference for those who choose to implement it. Hopefully most would, if it existed. Are many of the current U-Boot maintainers involved on this list? Getting their input and agreement would be the best way to see any standard implemented.
I don't think we have many U-Boot maintainers on this list; you'd want to put up a proposal for the U-Boot mailing-list, but it's a high-traffic list for development typically in the form of patch reviews. (IOW, it's perhaps best to send a concrete proposal there rather than open-ended questions.)
Understood. So maybe we have enough user experience here to come up with a general consensus to post to that list as a starting point, and let the maintainers on that list refine it (if they have the time and inclination/interest)?
