Chiming in. We've been working to put together a linaro image with a graphics stack that is based on xfce for OE.
I really like the idea that OE should output an axf and img that both the Foundation and RTSM models can utilize straight away without a hwpack or linaro-media-create. Extra steps are a drag. Out of curiosity where is the code that outputs the root file system for a tarball or ext3 img?
