[yocto-ab] VOTE: Intel BSPs for YP Compatible status

[Ricci, Davide]

I think there are two things we need to preserve:

1. make sure the approval process is not overwhelming

2. give visibility of the number of BSPs, or subcomponents in general, which achieve compatibility status, since the interoperability is achieved at the subcomponent level, and users might be interested to know what it is supposed to be interoperable 

So, maybe, it'd be nice to have a bulk registration, provided the components which are part of the bundle which would achieve compatibility are listed in a README, maybe, and listed onto the website as separate YP compatible entities?

Thanks, Daniel - I agree, it was unclear, and when we set the process
up this summer I don't think we really anticipated that each BSP would
have to be entered individually. If the rest of the members are agreed
that bulk registration is desirable for layers with a lot of features,
I'll write up some guidelines and send them around for discussion.
