James, I have to disagree.

The last time I tried (Mar 12, commit 276f647402), the openbmc/openbmc 
repo was still unable to control power of the host system on Wolfpass. 
That is why we're still using Intel-BMC/openbmc for our wolfpass-based 
board in development.

On the other hand, the Intel-BMC/openbmc repo lacks virtual media support.

We would love to use the main openbmc/openbmc for our x86 board but so 
far it just doesn't work.

Alexander.
