[Buildroot] Proposal to remove patches from patchwork, or find adopters

[Nathaniel Roach <nroach44@gmail.com>]

Apologies Thomas, it's assignment season and I brushed off your first email.

RE my patch (package/systemd: journald should use volatile storage):
The bug it works around (#7892) as far as I can tell, is still an issue.

I'd prefer that the patch remains as a work around for the issue, but it 
isn't a big deal either way, and is your call.

I've updated the bug with the details discussed in IRC a while ago.
