This really needs to be a BSP layer, not a distro, so that people can
build a custom distros with it; i.e., the fact that you currently BBMASK
packages in the BSP configuration means it will not be useable as an
independent layer.

It should be easy for people interested in the m-rpi effort to track
what is happening, splitting it over multiple online services does
facilitate that; more so it implicitly turns this into two separate
projects simply because someone wanting to contribute will have to
choose where to send the contributions to.
