The interesting mail in that thread is http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2012-February/017373.html, where Mark Hatle from Wind River not Intel (yeah, okay...) cites carrier grade blade systems. Then again I've had a few years away from OE, and I've no idea what the "micro" system referred to in later mails is. Considering the modern oe-core boot rapidly reaches udev and thus can silently break in subtle way with /usr unmounted, I'm not entirely happy with claiming to support separate partitions unless you define support as just "gets to a shell".
