Zhenhua, Otavio,

Thanks guys for your feedback. I am very glad to hear that you accept security 
or other patches from Enea.

Some background:

We scan oss-security public mailing list ([email protected]) and 
other reliable open source mailing lists. Whenever a vulnerability (e.g. 
CVE-2014-4667 Linux kernel: sctp: sk_ack_backlog wrap-around problem) gets 
published/announced on these lists, we try to apply the patch in all Linux 
kernels (or other open source packages) in our distribution and run some tests. 
We want to help the community and contribute back the results of our work, that 
is why we want to apply patches in the vendor-layer (e.g met-fsl-ppc) so others 
can get the security fixes without extra work.

Unfortunately I am on vacation and couldn't join this meeting but hopefully I 
can attend in your future meetings.

Sure but these are two parallel actions. Adding them to Yocto  Project BSP and 
getting those merged upstream.
