We used to have a dedicated page for deprecated platforms information.
This document contained 2 pieces of information:
a) the process for deprecating a platform port;
b) the list of deprecated platforms to this day.
I think it makes more sense to move b) to the platforms ports landing
page, such that it is more visible.
This also has the nice effect to move the 'Deprecated platforms' title
as the last entry of the 'Platform ports' table of contents, like so:
- Platform ports
- 1. Allwinner ARMv8 SoCs
- 2. Arm Development Platforms
...
- 39. Broadcom Stingray
- Deprecated platforms
instead of it being lost in the middle of supported platform ports.
Regarding a), this gets moved under the "Processes & Policies" section.
More specifically, it gets clubbed with the existing platform
compatibility policy. The combined document gets renamed into a
"Platforms Ports Policy" document.

Project Release Cadence
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
The project currently aims to do a release once every 6 months which will be
|
|
tagged on the master branch. There will be a code freeze (stop merging
|
|
non-essential changes) up to 4 weeks prior to the target release date. The release
|
|
candidates will start appearing after this and only bug fixes or updates
|
|
required for the release will be merged. The maintainers are free to use their
|
|
judgement on what changes are essential for the release. A release branch may be
|
|
created after code freeze if there are significant changes that need merging onto
|
|
the integration branch during the merge window.
|
|
|
|
The release testing will be performed on release candidates and depending on
|
|
issues found, additional release candidates may be created to fix the issues.

cataloging all the deprecated interfaces in TF-A project and the Release version
|
|
after which it will be removed.
