Understand. This afternoon, I found the following over on adafruit:
https://learn.adafruit.com/add-boards-arduino-v164/overview
And 1.6.4 is the version in Fedora testing that I am working with. Now to
follow this instruction and see if it works!
Much better if Arduino makes it easy to add more boards...
Yes, that looks like a much better approach (finally!) and likely
means that new device support could be packaged and hence maintained
separately which will make it much easier to support a diverse set of
devices.
