It might be better to not only consider what we've had in the past, but
plan to see what can be done in the future to reduce carrying cost,
duplication or or leverage new functionality.

i.e. the 3.10 yocto kernel has LTSI integration (and xilnx's work is
included there), it has preempt-rt, aufs, edf and a number of other
smaller features. It ends up being updated with -stable, CVE and other
releases.

So as a non-bleeding edge kernel, it has some advantages and doesn't
require xilinx to take the whole carrying cost, while leaving development
to focus on upstream and development features.

bottom line, is that if a feature mix like I mentioned above ends up
being done in 3, 5, 10 different kernel repositories, we all know that it
means our development efforts are less focused than they could be.

Cheers,

Bruce
