I think a small adjustment to this part could be valuable.

DPDK itself is kind of an embedded C programmer thing. So this is likely who 
will appear in the Arch Board.

So is the TCP / IP stack if one comes out.

But librte_ipsec and some other stuff would be security related.

Something like Apache's ability to have a loosely affiliated / Incubator / 
Partner project controlled by its original maintainers, and somehow labeled as 
a friend of DPDK but managed by its original maintainers could be useful.

To set expectations it would be labeled on the page for that sort of project 
that it is included because the DPDK Team felt it is useful, but it does not 
necessarily follow the standard guarantees of the more official entrants.
