Hi Dave, all

The flurry of updates were a mistake (hence the undo). In preparing for
the workshop I started seeing what updating casper-astro to ska-sa would
look like and did a bunch of cherry-pick commits on my local repo. After
the workshop I did a push. Realising that I had broken support for BEE2
etc I undid things. 

My intention was to only push bug-fixes to casper-astro, and then do a
major update once a year.

I think that would be great and is in keeping with making the most
people happy.

I still don't know what to do going forward. Support for older
architectures stops at a certain point. Also, it would be nice to try to
keep up with the latest versions of software while at the same time not
excluding those with older versions (it really is a pain (and expensive)
setting the toolflow up and making sure it works).

Regards
Andrew
