Thank you Zhenhua,

In addition to the issues that have already been raised, can you also 
please include the following in your road map:

i) Whether there will be an SDK1.7 beta trial for community participation

ii) Will SDK1.6 patches be posted to meta-fsl-ppc (perhaps just to 
update the SRCREV, so community members can know the code on the FSL 
Public GIT has been updated with SDK1.6 patches)

iii) Will both SDK and community releases be supported going forward or 
will SDK (eventually) go away?


I had previously volunteered to provide some high-level documentation 
for QorIQ developers on the community site.  I'll wait until after you 
post the road map to see if it's something the community wants or needs 
in addition to your road map.
