My understanding is that the long term goal is to delete mach-dove once
everyone has settled down into the mvebu DT world.

Right now we have mvebu which covers Dove using DT.  We have mach-dove
which is legacy non-DT Dove.

It seems to me to be completely crazy to want to bring legacy code, which
is ultimately destined to be deleted, into multiplatform.
