OK. It seems that the time is right to have this conversation. So we should agree on a place to do it.

We have used the linaro cross-distro list in the past as it is
intended for this sort of cross-cutting discussions. I can't think of
a better place?
https://lists.linaro.org/mailman3/lists/cross-distro.lists.linaro.org/

Some of the right people are probably already there, but we should
encourage others with relevant expertise to join.
