Hi Jacques,

Thanks for the effort! What's the time frame for this?

Pete's point is an important one, and I think this could be an
important example on how we keep back-ends in or out.

It seems you guys are doing the right thing, but it would be good if
you could do that first, so that we can use Lanai as an example to all
future targets.

Following this thread, I'm adding a new section to the developer's
policy to outline the criteria for new targets:
