would anyone object to my updating "Adding a New Machine"?

would anyone object to my updating "Adding a New Machine"?

[Robert P. J. Day]

this section:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/new-machine.html

is pretty out of date, using the "crownbay" as an example. any
interest in me updating it to refer to something current, perhaps
something rockchip like the orangepi-5-plus, which would show how a
top-level machine definition file recursively includes more and more
low-level files to fully define a machine?

  or is there some other modern machine definition that would be
a better example? or is it not worth the trouble?

I don't see how it is out-of-date, the important variables to set are still
valid.

This document does not seem to make use of an existing machine at the moment,
and points to meta-yocto to find examples. I think it's fine as it is, unless
you think of other variables that should be part of the important ones.
