  * 3.13 appears solid for supported targets  (bconoboy, 21:07:03)
  * 3.14 is being worked on now, utilite is being investigated, other
    imx6 device support is likely to work as well.  (bconoboy, 21:07:31)
  * 3.14 looking good on aarch64 foundation model  (bconoboy, 21:07:46)

    (pwhalen, 21:14:14)
  * The number of supported devices has decreased over time due to
    semiconductor decisions (EOL omap3/4 etc)  (bconoboy, 21:17:53)
  * We want to start ramping up the number of supported devices through
    the use of remixes until F21 comes out  (bconoboy, 21:18:34)

* 3) ARM representation in Fedora Working Groups  (pwhalen, 21:26:08)

    xfs meaning arm cannot follow this spec.  (bconoboy, 21:32:52)

    extended to arm32 if 3d drivers become available  (bconoboy,
