Kernel	Fast Boot Time	2 second boot time target	1	Accept	Darren	Team
Build	Meta-Targets	Part of the challenge of autobuilder is that you have to go into autobuilder, edit script, reconfigure, to change just one build target. This is error prone. What we need is a meta-target where Beth can say she wants to build Poky-image-sato for QEMU x86 and have it just do that. Beth thinks this is done via an override to the web page.
