mhorne created this revision.

Previously Ed was consistent in suggesting "obsolete" to refer to old GPLv2 toolchain bits.

Maybe be more explicit that this was only FreeBSD/i386 binaries? Something like "Removed userland support for executing FreeBSD/i386 a.out executables."

Would perhaps want a gitref for binutils being removed if you take my suggestion here?

Previously Ed was consistent in suggesting "obsolete" to refer to old GPLv2 toolchain bits.

I'd avoid "obsolete" if it would appear to be editorializing or hyperbole, but our last-GPLv2-version tools really were obsolete so I think it's fair.

I would leave "executing" out, what about just "Removed userland support for FreeBSD/i386 a.out executables."

Yeah, that works and avoids the need for a followup sentence I almost suggested about still being able to do it via chroot.

Address review comments.

Add an entry for GPL dtc(1) removal.

Hopefully I got the right selection of commits covering this.

As long as you have at least one binutils one you are probably fine. For entries I worked on, I did not try to exhaustively list all commits, e.g. for KTLS I think I chose one even though there were several followup changes for TLS 1.3, etc.
