Right, and that's the problem. Anyone using meta-python will continue to use the older recipes and not see the updates (since meta-python is a higher priority layer than oe-core). The right way to have done this would have been to update the recipes in meta-python before merging to oe-core, not merging to oe-core and then immediately updating them there.
