Please don't confuse what is in arago trees (or the beagleboard.org
trees) and being aligned with what is happening upstream.

You are implying that there is some development happening there that is
closely tied to submission of candidate patches upstream. Those trees
have all been dumping grounds for patches that by and large go no where.

The context of this discussion is upstream process. No where did I
suggest that they lacked value for production.
