It needs to be in the same layer. The logistics of including sections of meta-oe or meta-browser on the autobuilder whilst trying to test things like "bitbake world" is not somewhere I want to go. The Yocto Project does not have the manpower at this point in time to increase test coverage to include meta-browser or meta-oe. If someone gives me access to a large team of engineers...
