Re: [edk2-devel] Where to put the bhyve code in the edk2 repo: BhyvePkg, or under OvmfPkg?

Rebecca,

I think hosting open platforms outside the tianocore org is great too. 
This gives the maintainers even more freedom to run their own project 
and this scenario is actually how nearly all edk2 consumers do it. 
Today, edk2 just doesn't have the infrastructure to allow them to report 
back as a signal for core changes. I am still very interested in 
building and enabling a CI signal from these platforms.

Looks like github.com/freebsd/uefi-edk2.git is a fork of edk2.  Is there 
interest in setting it up to "consume" edk2 as is rather than be a fork? 
  Aligning with Edk2 rather than forking seems like a baseline 
requirement if you want to build against incoming PRs/changes and allow 
simple automation to help keep current.

Thanks
Sean
