likely. Might be better to nominate one board, create a userland tarball =
for that board as well as an image for 10.0-RELEASE and see if we can =
get crochet building images from that userland tarball before 10.1-R. We =
should at least create an artifact now, even if its usefulness is in the =
future... So a limited release for 10, if it isn't too late, for arm =
would be great.
