Does it make sense for this provisioning script to randomly pick-up the
latest Buildroot version? Angelo is selling this provisioning script as
a way for several users to have an identical, reproducible, build
environment. But if it randomly picks up the latest Buildroot version,
it kind of defeats that purpose.

So shouldn't the Buildroot version simply be hardcoded in the script
and/or passed as argument in some way?
