Whiteboard

Some of this overlaps with the Foundations discussion.

For background:
 https://wiki.linaro.org/WorkingGroups/ToolChain/Flyer

Agenda:
 - Lifecycle: what do we support and for how long
 - Types: Sources vs GCC 'source' vs package vs binary
 - Support: how, what cycle, what timing
 - Other ways of getting binaries
 - Cross vs native compilers
 - 'Deeper' releases past the consolidation release
 - Secondary projects
 - Flavours: architecture, soft, hard, libc
