Denys, did you just imply that ti81x has no current and continuing support? I'm just curious because our TI field application engineer keeps telling us that it is fully supported and will receive a kernel update soon. Can you please go into detail on what platforms will be supported in the future? > The initial split (which is still "work in progress"), following the above > description (except the systemd for now) can be checked at: > > http://arago-project.org/git/?p=meta-ti.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/split > > I do understand this is, like any other restructuring, an invasive change, but > is required to properly position "meta-ti" and the support behind it.

Especially if there is no active maintenance (let alone development) for the "extras" platforms. The euphemistic choice of naming puzzles me, though. I take it that by "extras" you actually mean "deprecated" or "unmaintained"? If so then please consider naming it that way. "extras" really suggests some added sugar to the "core" recipes of meta-ti, which doesn't really coin what you intend to do with it. If you need to be euphemistic please at least choose a name in the right context, like something along the lines of "attic", or "basement".
