I definitely use the distro-original kernels for both UEFI and RPi and don’t think they should be removed.
It’s not in targets.conf but people can build for it, I certainly do.
I’d say close this.

@tkaiser is suggesting to remove default OC.

All that said, since this is about RPi, and not UEFI, I don’t mind at all removing ddk for RPi. On UEFI I’d like to keep.

Yes, getting kernel security updates in timely fashion is very important for my cloud images (the real cloud, AWS/Oracle, not for emulated-cloud-on-sbc) much more than having mainline.
Again, cloud images live happily on my fork in my userpatches/extensions folder, and since that seems to be the only non-testing reason to have distro’s default kernel, I’d be happy to move ddk code there, no problem.
Ahn, remembered. SolidRun UEFI-arm64 can boot from ddk, but not from our kernels. Dunno why, won’t discover without a board.
After enabling 5.10. y and 5.15.y from rpi repository we might not even need to have ubuntu kernel. There is problem if we put it to legacy since its tied to upstream release and can actually be very current.
