Can you give some background on what the problem is in the first place? What is a tiny base runtime? What is bst? Why was it chosen? Your text talks about replacing Yocto (a well-known, well-established project with 10 years of history) with bst, so you need to justify. Or I misunderstood you. If there have been previous discussions on this subject on other mailing lists, can you point them out? I think I can guess why you want this in freedesktop.org, but can you write it out please? The bug report[1] asking for the mailing list creation did not include the justification.
