It was invent= ed in the era when UEFI environment is hard to find. Since now UEFI is very= popular in PC area, we could stop the official support of this package and= remove it from the master. Anyone who wants to use it still can just grab it from git history. This is= the same as what we did for IPF contents. If there is no concern by end of November, we will send out a formal patch = to remove DuetPkg. (Since DuetPkg is big, we will not generate the huge pat= ch using git command, instead we will just send out the patch mail with cor= rect title/commit message but empty content.) Thanks, Ray
