Those board are mostly obsolete (like gumstix or pandaboard) or
have other images where overwriting u-boot is enough.

Does this mean that cubox-humingboard images will no longer be available for download?
Yeah. In the imx6 world there are basically two popular product lines of consumer/hobbyist boards: wandboard, and cubox/hummingboard (other product lines tend to be aimed more at OEMs and embedded systems products).
I think it is true that the only difference between a wandboard image and a cubox image is the uboot. I don't know if there's some way to leverage that to generate two downloadable images from one build to save time.
Hmmm, I have all these boards except the GUMSTIX :).
Having said that, if the arm install image can create these from a generic image, I'm good.
Personally, I'm in the camp of "why remove supported hardware for the sake of removing supported hardware?"
I don't really see it as "extra" work to keep support, unless however there is special edge-cases in code in the tree that makes it more difficult to retain these boards.
