Sure. However, the two persons having expressed some knowledge about
FIT are you and Thomas DS, and none of you will be at the meeting.

Could you give some examples about the two cases you have (cpio and
ext2) and how they cause issues with the current Buildroot? I
understand it's a build ordering problem, but I'd like to understand
better the use cases of FIT to see how we can solve this.

Thanks!

Thomas
