This documentation is intended to provide common background and context i= n the Yocto Project for the associated software selections and variable u= sage. This RFC is documentation-only so I can get feedback on the description, = terminology, and overall approach before sending the full implementation.= =C2=A0I plan to send a full patch series that includes this documentation along with the corresponding recipe and variable chang= es for the relevant software components after addressing any feedback. Comments on the content, naming, and placement would be appreciated.
