Yes, it is my recommendation to extend the reach of this project. I |
| 15 |
understand your position to play it safe to guarantee success. But a |
| 16 |
single ebuild is not of much interest to me personally for 3 months |
| 17 |
work. |

You have the final word, as this is your project application. |

By "boot image" I think you mean the Android userland image for /system. |
| 35 |
I don't see the need to modify application bootloader if we build our |
| 36 |
own "boot image" and application bootloader is unlocked to accept |
| 37 |
unsigned "boot image". |

Did I miss something? |

Very impressive, I see your experience and potential. It would help if |
| 55 |
you summarize your strong points into the application in the Biography |
| 56 |
section, after sorting out the major target of your project. |
