Re: [iot-pmc] Bulk discussion/voting for Paho CQs

Well I did specify glibc in the CQ, I'd forgotten about other
implementations of the C standard library in my rush. We're not
actually building or testing with any alternatives to glibc in Paho, but
they could be used.

From the "Guidelines for the Review of Third Party Dependencies" 'A

pervasive in nature, expected to be already on the user's machine, and/or an
IP review would be either impossible, impractical or inadvisable' I imagine

I think that glibc could be an exempt prerequisite on the basis of its
pervasive nature.
It does feel as though this is a case that the guidelines don't quite
cover. glibc isn't the prerequisite, an implementation of the C
library is.
An exempt prerequisite does seem to be the most appropriate choice here though.
Cheers,
Roger
