Would be nice to cover them as well, but their update schedule, 3-4 years, means that their next update is 2018. They didn’t update to a 3 year old stable release of dejagnu for their last OS, meaning they are on a > 7 year update cycle. I love embedded and really long term support cycles (20 years), but, don’t think we should cater to the 20 year cycle just yet. :-) Since 7 is substantially longer than 2, I don’t think we should worry about it. If they had updated at the time, they would have had 3 years of engineering and testing before the release and _had_ 1.5.
