Thank you.
You can see a definite trend to their 'release policy' there.

Speculation: Maybe they filled that 'Compliance Officer' position that was open with someone who knows what they are doing. (They never had to ship the sources of the GPL toolchain.)

OR
We (devs) know what the English translation of the Amazon policy statement: "Amazon does not support customized software." really is, maybe they are just getting very serious about that.

The '-lab126' was dropped from the kernel archive name because those contain an archive of the Amazon patches.
Nice of them to extract all of their changes for us.

The 'eglibc' bundle also contains an archive of Ubuntu patches to the original named version.

I also have a list, by firmware release, of every OSS archive named.
The one shown on the above page was only a few hundred records, the all-inclusive list is about 9,000.
I will have to script up something to translate that one into a table or tables. Expect a delay on that listing.
