I don't know how much work will be done on Edison after the 1.1.2 
release. I personally will no longer be working on it and I don't think 
the team here as enough resources to maintain it perpetually.

I assume that these changes are predominantly to further improve PPC 
support?

In general your branch has several types of changes that have generally 
been considered inappropriate for a point release (such as recipe 
upgrades, new functionality, etc).

Personally I'm not very keen on the idea of pushing them all and 
advocating their inclusion. I'd strongly encourage adoption of this 
release series if it's to continue to be relevant to your work.

Cheers,
Joshua
