Will these be added in a way that makes them easy to remove? Many, >95% don't use Preempt RT in Linux as it impacts network performance and makes things very temperamental. You would think people would just disable this RT, but when trying to isolate issues it adds another variable to the mix. I believe Yocto has a way of adding and removing RT patches that is some what straight forward and preferable based on feedback from OEM's.
