That being said, addition of a new platform should be safe and the only acceptance criteria would be to make sure the new changes did not regress any existing builds. [Regression Potential] None. The patches add config changes for a new target (nitrogen6x2g) to generate u-boot-imx. The changes are tested on the Nitrogen6x board. + As for livecd-rootfs - there is also no possible regression potential. We are only adding new case conditionals for a new platform. [Feature Freeze Exception] Even though the required u-boot changes for Nitrogen6x support do not introduce any behavior change in existing packages per-se, the changes do enable a new, not-built previously target by default. All the Ubuntu-specific changes do not affect any existing users, since the nitrogen6q2g target was never officially built for both Ubuntu and Debian. To reach as many users as possible and become a well-known distribution for IoT and embedded devices, it is important to support as many different devices as possible. Which is why I would like to request a Feature Freeze exception for any hardware-enablement work required for adding Nitrogen6x support.
