Hi Julia, Upstream-first is generally our priority across the board. If they are reasonably generic/arch-independent config changes we would definitely push them all the way up to rt-devel. I assumed if they were terribly board/chip-specific, or depended on large backported patch-sets not already held in the rt-devel, they would need another home and the production-kernel tree was a good alternative.
