Being a crazy tradition set by the Sparc AP1000, I'm happy with a single
user :-)

The Yosemite stuff scores higher on my kill list anyway.  The board
support code was never too great but that's not the issue; the SOC's
network driver which is rotting away in the linux-mips.org git tree as
the last change that can't be merged upstream as it is, stopped even
compiling ages ago and while a superior replacement has been posted,
nobody cared enough to get it into mergeable shape.

Now that 3.7 is finally released, hasta la vista, Yosemite.
