Ok, I'm fine with that - we can work out a minimal config.

I would prefer to have the new kernel ASAP for many reasons. There were 
several reports about 3.1 not booting for some people. So, resolving that 
before Yocto Project 1.3 is released, is quite important. Plus, this gets us 
aligned better with your current Ubuntu-based release. And we are now starting 
to see patches against the old 3.1 kernel - by moving everyone to newer 3.4 we 
avoid waisting people's time fixing and enhancing the old 3.1...

So, I'd vote to get the new kernel first and worry about GST and GFX later. Do 
you feel there will be extensive changes to the kernel recipe associated with 
those? A little bit of churn on the defconfig would be acceptable...
