So what I think the landing teams need to be doing here is unchanged - you need to be showing people how to develop in such a way that the backport/release code and upstream code don't shift too far apart so work done in one can be readily applied to the other, and helping them make sure that things are kept in sync so this is tractable.
I don't see that fitting in with my LT's plans at all. LSK has not been accounted for at all, other than as a team requiring support on an ad-hoc basis, along with many other teams inside Linaro.
I'm not talking here about the LSK but rather about the productisation trees that the consumer electronics SoC vendors are shipping to their customers. I don't know if that's an issue at all at ARM, given that ARM ship IP not silicon I'd not at all be surprised if they didn't have such things and therefore there's no need to worry about integrating upstream into the development process. What I was discussing with Andy was the challenge that many of the landing teams face when trying to add upstream to a productisation based workflow.
There are some other places where this won't be much of an issue, for example in the enterprise space the focus is strongly on upstream anyway so there aren't really the same productisation kernels,
