Sure, waiting until post release for that sounds fine to me.  Though
judging from the recent checkins it seems as though most of the DISTROs
are declaring xattr now in any case.

Unless you have a particular objection, I'm going to revert Petr
Štetiar's original micro-uclibc.conf patch and just take the view of
"don't do that, then" for the resulting console-image failure.  If it
turns out that someone actually wants console-image on micro then I
guess we can apply some distro-specific hack to suppress the avahi
behaviour.
