And on this note, we should consider the kernel parts and see if getting
them into a common location is a good idea.
We already have the linux-yocto tree, and it tracks LTSI, has CVE and
-stable tracking, and is maintained to support the set of reference
boards.
Creating yet more reference kernel trees doesn't help our goal of
fewer trees and a discrete set of kernel versions.
Just something to consider.
Cheers,
