We've discussed "long term" branches for a while. I suggest that we
collect together people who are will to maintain such things and let
them push to a namespace in poky-contrib initially, perhaps in other
repos eventually where we collect these things together.

Perhaps poky-contrib extended-life/daisy? 

If there is common agreement, a group of people could collaborate on
such a branch too...

Cheers,
