Just noting that it would be nice to have a transition period where RTEMS BSP

I prefer this be as short as possible. What about 1st Nov 2020?
I added a ticket for this:
https://devel.rtems.org/ticket/4081
It is not clear what the criteria is to trigger removal of the old build system.
We do not want a set of rules that are difficult to meet stalling the removal.
If you would like to meet some criteria please documented it on this page:
https://devel.rtems.org/wiki/Release/6/Waf%20BSP%20Checklist
The columns in the table are the checklists but there are no rules on what needs
to be completed. It was intended to be a status.
The new build system is way better to work with and if a user reports an issue
we should be able to sort it out. The 5.1 release is the old build system base
line once it is removed from master.
It is critical to run the tests generated by the new build system. To
run the build alone is not enough. For example, the i386 BSPs were
completely broken since they used some special stuff in the *.cfg files.
A known issue is the -fdata-sections and -ffunction-sections handling in
libbsd.
