It really became apparent after the recent updates to their kernel repository. 
It is clear that they intend to keep it up to date and invite the community to 
assist (along with bringing in FSL updates as needed, of course).  It became too 
much work to try to maintain a kernel outside of that (even though it tracked 
with the official FSL kernel).

The provider is Wandboard.org, so I think linux-wandboard makes sense.
