Rare project developers

[Frédéric LOUI <>]

Hi !

Great news ! 

I don’t have a Nix’ified WEDGE at hand but I presume that mc36 will test this 
on the PARIS node he just upgraded from your Nix/Hydra cache.
However, I’d willing to test a clean slate procedure with the definitive ONIE 
image next week on GP4L and then documents this on docs.freertr.net

We have candidate users who are queuing and can’t wait to test this first 
RARE/freeRtr NOS release :)

Don’t see any pressure here, please take your time to make things right as 
you usually do :)

Do you want to add it to docs.freertr.net or elsewhere ?
Whatever you chose, I’d be willing to reflect this document in a single 
coherent place.

Please proceeds :)
