100% right for all points. Currently it looks like there are no other 
developers interested in doing OpenZaurus 3.5.5 released so we both have 
to make decisions.

I propose to build 3.5.5-testX images from .dev and when we get working 
ones for release then we will branch to org.openembedded.oz355 which will 
be used for updates. This will also mark .oz354x branch as obsolete.

Need to check:

- why .dev images are so big
- does opie works with multi threaded qt

First images could use OPIE CVS due to recent changes in it. Then 1.2.3 
will be used.

Any other developers want to change something? add? ideas? join?
