Discussion: Considering dropping BBS Signature support for now?
- Issue: The current BBS Library does not have an Arm artifact, so we can support Mac M1 (etc.) devices natively.
  - Request for help in upgrading from BBS Library supplier (MattrGlobal) has not been answered.
- Options:
  - Create images that don't have BBS SIgnatures included, and provide guidance on install time changes needed to add it.
    - Kind of like a plugin – deployers must explicitly add BBS vs. expecting to be there.
  - Switch to another implementation?
    - Multiple, non-interoperable implementations. It's not clear which one to switch to.
  - Move current implementation to a plugin
    - Allows those using it (is there anyone?) to use the plugin.
  - Drop the support for now.
    - The "next gen" BBS signatures implementations are coming – wait for them and add back then.
1.0.0 Progress - RC time?
