I suspect
some of these platforms may have more users than we
believe.

I know the guys at www.opengear.com are still building hardware around
the KS8695. And they update to modern kernels from time to time. So its
not completely obsolete yet. I have some SnapGear boards based around it
too, though they went out of production about 2 years ago.

Ok, good to know. Maybe we can catch their interest with this mail thread
here and get them to contribute upstream as well.

Vision System GmbH are (or were) also using the KS8695.

Ok, cool. Definitely not a candidate for removal based on what we've
seen then.

I would like to consolidate some of the defconfigs though, since
there are currently three of them and the platform supports multi-board
kernels. Anyone objecting to moving over to ks8695_defconfig as a superset
of the current three ones (acs5k{,_tiny}_defconfigs)? I'll post a patch
to NAK tomorrow. :)
