[yocto-ab] Yocto Project AB VOTE: OS Systems

[Osier-mixon, Jeffrey]

Indeed it is. That is the main reason I brought it to the Advisory Board.

I sense enough hesitance that I think we can call off the vote for
now, but we should continue to examine the problem as best we can, and
to discuss it at the AB meeting next week. I believe there are some
hidden opportunities here.
