Proposal for a policy for this item, so as to hopefully speed up the
discussion at the meeting:
* Updates to the minimum HW requirements, i.e. those dropping support for
hardware which was previously supported, should be treated as an ABI
change, and follow that deprecation policy. Specifically:
- change announced at least one release in advance
- patches removing support for the older hardware should have at least
three ACKs before being applied.
