>> We have a question to community. Our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release is not public/released until January. We have two options for upstream of 3.10.31 into meta-fsl-arm and would like feedback from community.

>> - Option 1 - Upstream 3.10.31 beta into master-next branch and branch master with 3.10.17 once Yocto Project 1.7 name is announced in late Sept or early October
>> o This means that 3.10.31-1.1.0_beta will be in master-next branch during September.
>> o Also means Freescale will get less feedback from community to fix for our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release.
>> o 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA will be part of Yocto Project 1.8 release only in April 2015.
>> - Option 2 - Upstream 3.10.31-1.1.0 Beta into master branch and remove 3.10.17 from master branch.
>> o This means Yocto Project 1.7 release will not be production code for i.MX6 until our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release planned in January.
>> o Allows earlier production release of 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA with SoloX and Graphics as part of Yocto Project 1.7 in January.
>> o Beta is not supported (by freescale/for production/by SR). However bugs can be sent to imx-community and if time before GA code freeze Freescale can try to fix in our GA release.
>>
>> Please provide your feedback. Freescale prefers Option 2 because we can get more feedback about bugs to fix in our 3.10.31-1.1.0 GA release but we will abide by community wishes if they prefer Option 1.
