Well, kernel.org really. I was going to ask if we were getting close with the recent activity, but I just looked and no there's still a ton.

As noted in commit 3ebee5a2e141496b ("arm64: dts: kill skeleton.dtsi"), there are a number of problems with skeleton.dtsi, and it would be prefereable to remove it entirely. As there are a large number of existing users, fixing these up will take a while. This patch adds a note to arm's skeleton.dtsi noting that this is the case, to make this more obvious and hopefully minimize new uptake of skeleton.dtsi in the mean time.
