Simon - nice work! I read your blog post and agree with your points. We 
are working on the OEM developer experience and hope that some of the 
issues that you have encountered will get figured out in the next while.

One of my fellow developers has prepared a number of Snappy kernel 
version specific branches containing config changes and back ported 
Apparmor patches. For example, 
'git://kernel.ubuntu.com/ppisati/ubuntu-vivid.git snappy_v3.10'.

I agree that creating an initrd is a bit difficult. I wrote a more 
general script that replaces the content of an existing device tarball 
with a developer kernel and modules. Your logic pretty much does the 
same thing for ODROID-C1.

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/rtg/snappy-tools.git

Stay tuned for information on device activation, authentication, and 
fully signed systems.
