What's the official TI plan for this? I mean:

- what platforms is TI going to support? what platforms is TI going to
keep current?

- are there any plans to keep support for the dsp-related things?

I imported and fixed the dsp-related things from oe-classic, and Koen
was the only one that helped me.

I posted some patches for gst-ducati for omap4, with help from Koen
and Rob Clark, and nobody cared.

I know the concept of "opensource" and "community" but  it seems to me
that TI has no interest in all of this, just look at the current
platform support after the extras split.

The point is that you will not stop people complaining (like Steffen
some days ago) just saying: "oh it's in extras you are lucky if it
builds".

So the question is: are there any plans in TI to properly support its
platforms or will this continue to be a place where to drop some code,
forget about it and then move it to an extra layer?
