Basically... yes, this is fine. We don't really have anyone taking care of devtool/recipetool at the moment or even knowing how the code works, so you have a lot of freedom in how it can be improved, the only request from me is to add tests to devtool and/or recipetool selftests for any new functionality or otherwise improve tests as deemed necessary (it's a good idea to study what there is right now - they're in meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/).
