Sure, I understand busy.  That said, I would think that _some_ reply could
be had after a week...  Also, the "busy core" Angstrom developers seem
to have lots of time to answer other, seemingly innocuous, questions on
these and other lists.

If it's not to be supported, fine; I'll just move on.  Too bad, I think
Angstrom has plenty of potential and I'd be happy to contribute (but I
need to get it going before I can!)
