[Bf-linux] Todo for 2nd test build. meeting notes

[Shaul Kedem]

Moved to bf-linux..

You talk about the cons, which is fine, but what about the pros?
common arch that behaves like a full linux, place to test the build
and not just deliver it, and so on.

One example I came across in the past years: no one knew what the
right fedora/gentoo python package was using in the stable tree
