Re: [epp-dev] Status of Galileo M5 builds

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It'd still be nice to see a note on the website that indicates this to 
the average consumer.

FWIW, one of the reasons why Eric was invited to join the Technology PMC 
is because he primarily looks at the projects from the outside-in. If 
Eric is having troubles or concerns about this, then there's a good 
chance that a significant part of our community is also having trouble 
with this.

Putting my project committer hat on... would you like me to try and add 
a few words to the site describing the issue?
