Sorry to revisit the discussion on IRC, but in be2abf23 Thomas Petazzoni wrote: Linaro toolchains are released so frequently (every month) that it doesn't make much sense to support 3 consecutive versions. So, like we do for ARM big-endian, let's support only one version at a time. Are we in agreement that this has changed because it seems they now have stable releases? Or let me put this differently: are we sure now that the 2015.02 version is really considered more stable than 2015.08, or is it just that they're too lazy to update their website?
