Re: [technology-pmc] [CQ 3706] binutils Version: any

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings noble Technology PMC members.

The Linux Tools project has requested exempt pre-req status for 
binutils, a collection of components that are a common part of all 
(most?) Linux distributions. I believe that this request is in-line with 
our policies regarding the use of third-party dependencies and 
established precedent. The CQ link is noted below. I've copied the text 
of the request as well (a later comment qualifies the request for 
"_exempt_ pre-req" status.

If you have any issues with this, please raise them now. Alternatively, 
please give this request a +1.

Thanks,

Wayne
