Hi Florian,

Thanks a lot for the announce, really appreciated to be aware of what's
coming .
I'd (myself) like to see some kind of announces being sent on the public
list so that everybody can follow what's being worked on and so what to
expect in Stream packages (as of course there is no official public
Release Notes -yet- , appearing for RHEL, so downstream)

Wondering if such initiative wouldn't be good to : as development will
be more and more transparent, what about also "up2date" doc about new
backported features , etc ?

Now back to the x86 cpu infra : does that mean that to *build* Stream
packages (like gblic) we need at least a minimum instructions set in the
CPU (builder side that is) ?

Kind Regards,
