I think it would still be good to have this template in the future. For
example, in DistroKit, we have one platform which targets ARM-v7A
boards, and we can use the same kernel and userland here. But we still
need different barebox packages because we cannot target multiple board
families with one barebox config - in that case one barebox for Broadcom
BCM283x boards, one for ARM Vexpress, one for i.MX6, one for OMAP is
needed, even though they are all ARM-v7A platforms. Otherwise we would
need to introduce additional platforms, which would unnecessarily
duplicate the space needed to build images for all boards.
