The actual board-detection and uboot-env config should not be in the
uboot-envtools package as it is very platform dependent. adding lantiq_env to
uci-defaults obviously makes on lantiq platform only, but we are using
uboot-envtools on a couple of different platforms.
the approach of creating uci-configuration values from the a uci-default
script of the platform and then have a run-once init script to generate the
actual /etc/fw_env.config had a couple of reasons to be exactly as it was:
in this way, the platform *defaults* always live in /etc/config/ubootenv and
can be created by a uci-default script for every platform.
fw_env.config gets generated only if it doesn't exist yet and values in uci 
exist.
in this way, uboot-env remains target agnostic.
the configuration, a far as OpenWrt is concerned, lives in uci.
the configuration-file used by the fw_printenv/fw_setenv tool is generated
from uci, just like it happens for most config-files in OpenWrt which are
run-time generated out of uci. in this specific case I see that it makes sense
to store it in /etc instead of /var/etc, as we don't want to overwrite
user-made changes to this file and have the user brick his system...

ack, it would be nice to have you maintining it :)

See above. target uboot environment uci-defaults should live at the targets
imho , see
target/linux/ar71xx/base-files/etc/uci-defaults/ubootenv
for the way I intended it.


Cheers for the good work!
