ecos-v2_0-branch [ was Re: [Fwd: RE: Possible deadlock in serial.c] ]

[John Dallaway <jld at ecoscentric dot com>]

I think the finite time we can devote to "eCos maintainer" activities is 
better spent on improving the head (including the processing of contributed 
patches) than maintaining a release branch which has now fulfilled its 
purpose. I therefore propose that we consider the ecos-v2_0-branch to be 
dead.
