I really like the linux-core tree by the way, and the fact that we get Linaro technologies pre-integrated is helping us clearly. I think if we only add -android as a branch on top of -core, then that should be enough. Then Andy (or other LT) would pull -core into their -vanilla, and pull -android branch into the LT androidized kernel! cheers, nico
