One of the significant benefits of the OE build method is eliminating, to the greatest extent possible, the (usually) undetectable influence of variations in the host platforms. Any given distro is probably stable enough, but that does not guarantee a consistent result if we attempted to build the same image on all available stable distros. We might get lucky and actually achieve that, but I would not bet my life on it, particularly if we started using even more native tooling. "Stability is a local construct, not a global one." For our own project, we have taken this as far as practical. We eliminated the third party distro host platform (Ubuntu) about five years ago and built our host platform from Yocto/OE sources. Each new version of our host platform is built from the previous one. ..Ch:W.. -- *"Perfection must be reached by degrees; she requires the slow hand of time." - Voltaire*
