Is now the time to start a discussion about using submodules or at least tracked dependencies in edk2-platforms. The way it stands the only thing you can use to correlate the two are the timestamp of the commit. This means that the history of edk2-platforms will not actually be any different if you merge into edk2 as a two part series or one. This has been a major pain point as someone who wants to use edk2-platforms downstream. Another benefit of tracked dependencies is that each platform or group of commonly managed platforms would move their dependencies as they incorporate any edk2 change. This also gives visibility into the maintenance and status of a platform. Thanks Sean
