So we should start discussing about which tools/procedure to use to
build those images that people would be then able to consume.

There is/was https://github.com/mndar/rbf , but now that I look at
that, it seems that the github repository in fact contains binaries of
uboot and kernels not built on our infra, so we can probably reuse
that, but if we modify it to only be a tool that

 - either build on demand missing files not coming from upstream SRPMS
(like uboot/kernel/$others ? )
 - either be pointed to url containing those binaries, but that can be
audited/verified and so something to discuss too.

I've myself never worked really on arm boards, so if people can give
us pointers about where to start, etc ....

+1 on the idea of "CentOS Linux userland ARMv7 $release" if we need to
mix with packages not coming from RHEL
