Re: [iot-pmc] Advice for a generic exempt-prereq CQ: AGL

[Jens Reimann <jreimann@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am curious if that is even necessary. And please correct me if I am wrong:

AGL could only be one platform you are running on?! And, as you said, you are not even distributing AGL.

So I think this would fall under the same category of what we currently have with e.g. the Eclipse IDE. It does run on top of Linux, Mac OS, Windows, …

In general, this this sounds very reasonable to me. I am no expert in
AGL but I guess the challenge will be to define the scope of AGL, i.e.
what would be covered by an exempt pre-req for AGL and what will not. In
your particular case, would u-boot-fw-utils be considered part of AGL or
not and on what grounds? Is there a "formal" definition of AGL's scope?
