Comment (by gk):

 Replying to [comment:7 boklm]:
 > As vendor.tar.gz is pretty big, I think we should move it outside the
 git repository, with something like this:

 build.git/commit/?h=linux_esr68_v5&id=7fdae3db547bc44f3b157d0f23f613f65a9cd0bf

 Looks good. I cherry-picked that one and squashed the result onto `master`
 (commit a61d68dc37a39d0aca74b273ca2b444fe33a07dc)

 > I think we should also add some comment explaining how this file was
 created.

 I agree. I am leaving this ticket open for that comment and I still like
 to get the vendoring result smaller if possible...
