I'd love for the general state of things to be that gumstix-distro.conf
contains exactly one line: "require angstrom.bb".  In practice though, I doubt
that will ever happen; for example I definitely want ANGSTROM_MODE=uclibc; I
definitely want udev-115 (well, I'd settle for 114...).  I want the
gumstix-distro to be a very stable platform which people can build their OEM
software base on top of, where I suspect angstrom will want to be able to move
faster and make changes more frequently.  Communication can help, but I have
trouble seeing that the delta between what I'd like for gumstix users
specifically, and what angstrom wants for the broader audience it has will ever
be 0, in practice.
