Good point! Would it be an idea to introduce a naming convention so
that is clear to anyone? So instead of

  40-avr-libc-1.7.1-xmega32X1.patch

we would have:

  40-avr-libc-1.7.1-atmel-xmega32X1.patch

and when the official one comes out:

  40-avr-libc-1.7.1-official-xmega32X1.patch

These patches could be identical when it is 
adopted as such by the developers in charge.
But it could also be a further improved one.

This would solve:

> Atmel will always be in front of the community project internally so
> Atmel will probably always have patches to the latest public version.

and anyone else can also release his/her patches, since now it is clear
that they are not yet 'approved'.
