Hey all,

So, my calendar alarm went off today to remind me that we need to make the lack of DM conversion more noisy, in order to encourage the remaining conversions to happen.

But, off the top of my head, I'm not quite sure of the best way to implement that, anyone have an idea? Thanks!

Hi Tom,

We set a deadline of 2018.05 to have boards moved over to CONFIG_BLK. That is a pretty good proxy for conversion.

Some ideas:

1. Add to the release announcement email
2. We could create a patch to remind people when they build a board without CONFIG_BLK.
3. We could create a list of which boards need to be converted, like the config_whitelist.txt

Regards,
Simon
