Koen, et al,

This is a RFC for creating an additional "extras" layer inside meta-ti to 
contain pieces and components that are either slightly outdated (i.e. old 
Davinci boards, hawk/crane etc.) or have best-effort status (TI81x, anything 
DSP-related, etc.) or require non-standard dependencies besides OE-Core 
(systemd?) with the possibility of moving them back to "main" meta-ti in the 
future, once they become "first-class citizens", i.e. gain current and 
continuing support.

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. I'm open 
to a discussion and any constructive criticism - feel free to comment. Thanks.
