Are these few people more important than the rest of the users out here ? Not meant as a smart ass question seriously. I mean if I have to I can always compile my own kernel, but not everyone has the know how. My idea of of images and kernels for the beaglebone has always been minimal. Nothing wrong with perhaps compiling with modules in mind, but keeping things standard so people can find out easily how to change these image properly to get where they want to be. But that's my idea . . .
