And that's a great move :) Thanks for doing that work !

Yes. I've been wanting to get rid of it for some time.

As for new platforms, I tend to have no problem if they just create a
directory of their own (platforms/chesnut, etc...) though in some we
might want a grab bag for boards that really only need one file...

This could be a plaforms/misc, or platforms/simple, or just have them at
the root of platforms...
