I was hoping that because it wasn't "HTML tag soup" that build status could be

github based projects.   Nesting it deeper in the package just means less people find it 
when looking at your package.   But I could see a few ways to solve it so I am looking 
for feedback and alignment before doing anything else.

Option 1.

1. Add the Platform CI build status for the three platforms to the Edk2 repo 
readme since these are platforms in edk2 this makes sense and brings the most 
visibility to their status and the existence of the builds.
2. Convert edk2 repo readme to RST so it avoids "HTML tag soup"
3. Move the remaining part of the OvmfPkg/Readme.rst file into 
OvmfPkg/PlatformCI/Readme.md  (I prefer MD when not doing large tables of links 
as it is easier to write and slightly easier to read as plain text).
4. Do step 3 for ArmVirtPkg and EmulatorPkg too

Option 2.
1. Leave the ReadMe.rst at the root of each package but only include the build 
status table and add a link to the PlatformCi/ReadMe.md
2. Move the Pytool and Platform CI focused readme contents to 
PlatformCI/ReadMe.md

Option 3.

Something else.


Given the intent to make it a requirement that changes don't regress on these platforms we've selected, I think having the CI build (and boot!) status of these platforms front and center makes sense.

I am absolutely fine with using either .md or .rst depending on the needs of the individual use cases.

So I suppose that means option #1, or some variation thereof.

Finally does anyone have a strong preference for ReadMe vs README vs readme vs 
Readme vs ReAdMe?  I see a mix of these in the edk2 code tree.


ReadMe is the most idiomatic given the EDK2 coding style, but I could live with README as well.
