I think we need a better name for the linux project. As it is I think it may be mistaken as what we also call our linuxulator. Maybe "linux kernel API compatibility shim (LiKACS)" is a better short description. The usb update one is marked as a soc entry. Last year documentation stuff was not accepted as a soc entry. I don't know if this year is the same, but one of the entries is mostly a documentation entry. Additionally I remember that Hans-Petter has an opinion about compatibility shims for his new USB stack. Can I assume this entry was coordinated with him? And maybe he has also some words to say about the documentation part. I'm also not sure if it is a wise idea to ask to invest time into both usb stacks. Wouldn't it be better if an architectural decision is made regarding which one to improve?
