Thanks Daiane,

I guess what I'm really asking is, what are the drawbacks and 
limitations (just just bugs per-se)
with using the current under-development i.MX6 OpenEmbedded BSP vs the 
released LTIB BSP

Maybe to put it another way, functionally is there a roadmap for where 
the i.MX6 BSP is at
and what isn't yet working or supported. Presumably there are things 
that are not working
or supported or FSL would be offically supporting at this time...?

Apparently so :) I just wasn't sure whether I could mention that yet, 
but as you already have... ;)
