Hm, take a look at https://build.opensuse.org/monitor - we're really low
on armv7l build power. Last night we had six build hosts, today ten with
22 worker VMs. People branching kernel package add to that problem.
(I just asked Bamvor to drop a Kernel:stable branch with no diff.)

We did not manage to get both kernel-default and kernel-lpae built
before the next Kernel:HEAD update. (Which possibly is why they didn't
get published.)

So not sure how many JeOS combinations of kernel and U-Boot we can
realistically build concurrently. Once we have a working JeOS for a
board, people could just update to Kernel:HEAD from there themselves.
For new boards where the kernel does not yet boot we simply can't create
new JeOS images outside Contrib:* today. For U-Boot testing I agree it
would make sense to have images built.

Dropping the downstream Raspberry Pi kernel and merging :upstream into
Contrib:RaspberryPi would seem like a nice cleanup btw. Requires the
fixed kernel to get built, of course.

Regards,
Andreas
