I remain a little bit uncomfortable with host packages that have no
in-tree user, as it means the code is dead and never tested by our
autobuilder infrastructure.

That being said, lots of aspects of Buildroot are already not tested by
our autobuilder infra, so maybe my argument is not so good after all.

Peter, what is your feeling on this ?
