	The criteria for adding a supported distro is quite rigid. Obviously, any candidate distro must be of production quality. In other words, the distro is capable of being used in a production environment on a Yocto Project Autobuilder build worker. A compelling reason must also exist for the Yocto Project actually use the distro on a build worker. Obscure, poorly supported, or highly customized distros are not likely to be good candidates for submission. Major stable distros (e.g. Debian, Fedora, Ubunto, Centos, and so forth.) are generally already supported. If they are not supported, they are likely on the list to become supported once sufficient criteria are met. Please be sure to check the latest supported distros beforehand to make sure the distro in question is not already supported.		The criteria for adding a supported distro is quite rigid.
