I must confess to never having properly understood the scope of AppPkg to begin with. AppPkg/Applications/Hello does not appear to have any further (real) dependency on libc than MdeModulePkg/Application/HelloWorld/, and . And certainly MdeModulePkg/Applications contain plenty of ... applications. So, if the purpose is simply to provide some examples of application written to libc rather than UEFI - should this be edk2-libc instead?
