Yeah, Erik basically doesn't do any uclibc.org work anymore, buildroot
or otherwise.

BR doesn't have a single maintainer, but I'm one of the old timers (so
is Bernhard, but he forked).

/me mumbles something about getting a release out "soon" - But yeah.

I personally prefer Debian, but whatever floats your boat - As long as
stuff works you won't hear me complain. Lets just keep things simple.

I would like to be kept in the loop.
