Hi,

Graeme and I reverted "busybox: Disable busybox shadow support for 
Angstrom", the commit message explains it:

"Revert "busybox: Disable busybox shadow support for Angstrom"
* Do NOT, I repeat NOT touch such core distro files without approval of 
distro maintainters
* This is the wrong solution to the problem, please raise a discussion 
on email list!

This reverts commit 4339d706baf166732d6b7d3b2bedb0c54ce76cbf."

I looked at the instructions new commiters get sent, and it says:

"1) Everything outside org.openembedded.dev/packages/ should be treated 
with extreme care. Please communicate with other developers first if you 
want to touch that area. If you are a distro maintainer you are of 
course free to touch your distro config files without asking. If you are 
a machine maintainer, please communicate first, since it's easy to get 
things wrong and not all machines are good examples to copy from."

Maybe that is a bit unclear since it implies that packages/ is clear of 
distro files, which it isn't. Attached is the full version of the 
welcome message so people can suggest improvements.

regards,

Koen
