The 4.19 release is planned for January 2023. Please add any updates to the coreboot code that are should go into the notes between now and then. This helps in that you get to phrase the update the way you want, and it lessens the load for the release managers.

The 4.19 release is planned for January 2023.
Update this document with changes that should be in the release notes.
- Please use Markdown.
- See the past few release notes for the general format.
- The chip and board additions and removals will be updated right before the release, so those do not need to be added.
- Note that all changes before the release are done are marked upcoming. A final version of the notes are done after the release.

Plans for Code Deprecation
Intel Icelake SoC & Icelake RVP mainboard
Intel Icelake is unmaintained. Also, the only user of this platform ever was the Intel CRB (Customer Reference Board). From the looks of it the code was never ready for production as only engineering sample CPUIDs are supported. This reduces the maintanence overhead for the coreboot project.
Intel Icelake code will be removed with release 4.19 and any maintenence will be done on the 4.19 branch. This consists of the Intel Icelake SoC and Intel Icelake RVP mainboard.
Intel Quark SoC & Galileo mainboard
The SoC Intel Quark is unmaintained and different efforts to revive it failed. Also, the only user of this platform ever was the Galileo board.
Thus, to reduce the maintanence overhead for the community, support for the following components will be removed from the master branch and will be maintained on the release 4.20 branch.
- Intel Quark SoC
- Intel Galileo mainboard
