Comments from Systems WG meeting.

What are the kernel development processes which map towards quality aspects.
Process clear how to change the runtime code.

What is the Kernel specification. To what extend it documented (man pages, guidelines, doc header, kernel contribution guideline, ...)

Proposal:
Start looking at the guideline. (There are guidelines on the documentation.)
But the guideline may not be very well met.
After gap identification we can consider to improve it.

As discussed in last week meeting, ISO-PAS 8926 is not an example of Good Practices standardization but it is effectively an annex to the ISO 26262 2nd ed. and hence it should be eventually mentioned in the last row.

Instead of ISO-PAS 8926, in that row, I think we can put "A guide to the Kernel Development Process"[1], that is the de-facto process used to develop the Linux Kernel today
