We have a working configuration and we have plenty of broken ones.

I'm trying to serve users who would like to see the known
working configuration of systemd and latest stable kernel as output
from the Yocto Project. If something in that working configuration
breaks, then its up to me as co-maintainer of genericarm64 to fix it.

I'm sorry that this does not convince you. I've tried to help with
U-Boot, kernel etc genericarm64 BSP updates and IMO done quite a bit of
development work in linux-yocto kernel to get it working on more HW.

Sounds like building this genericarm64 "known good config" should
move to outside of oe-core and meta-yocto, maybe meta-arm then.

Cheers,
