As much as I like adding new package in Buildroot, this project feels
like your own project, very recently started, with no outside
contributions. In the end it's just a single shell script providing a
few functions. Could be useful, but I'm not sure we want to add this as
a Buildroot package that quickly.

Perhaps we need to see if there is some interest/adoption first?

I'm not sure I like this idea of SZZcukinia, though indeed S99 wouldn't
work because a few other Buildroot services are started at S99, and you
want to be after those services. Maybe other developers will have some
ideas?

GPLv3 should be GPL-3.0.
