for how long and will all the other people submitting these files also provide LTS ? normally activism fades after a few months. we can see this will board support and package maintenance. i think this will be a burden. adding a "how to build" page to web.git is a good idea and we can consider to put all the diffconfig files some place. but i think that source.git is not the right place.
