The original port has nothing to do with eCosCentric, it was a public
contribution.
Without hardware or tools to test contributed ports or work, the eCos
maintainers are reliant on the individual contributors for the quality
and stability of such contributed code. The maintainers also have a
policy of not removing functionality once it has been checked into
anoncvs leaving developers the choice of either ignoring it or fixing
it. Removing the code does not give the developer any choice and the
MCF5272 port is a case in point.
