-In 20.xx, ar71xx will finally be dropped. As already relevant in 19.07, ath79 introduces vendor_model-variant scheme for image names. It also drops the board_names used in ar71xx, so the compatible (from DTS) will be used as board name instead (being equivalent to vendor,model-variant, and unique for a specific device).+In 21.02, ar71xx will finally be dropped.

 While creating the new and shiny target, we again took the opportunity to use more systematic names on devices, using less abbreviations and staying closer to the device name. This will it result in several changed names compared to ar71xx additional to just adding the vendor to the name. While creating the new and shiny target, we again took the opportunity to use more systematic names on devices, using less abbreviations and staying closer to the device name.
