I think we're at the point where we should think of what makes a host 
supported, and what expectations we have of that host. The situation is 
undocumented and a bit frustrating today.  

It should be really easy to get going with YML/poky. We should consider 
optimizing the following workflow:
1. Install a minimal distribution
2. Download YML/poky, run it
3. Follow only the instructions provided
4. Complete a build

It may be required that the user has root access temporarily to update 
packages.  Only packages provided by the distribution vendor should need to be 
installed. The user should only have to make changes once.  The need for these 
changes should be minimized.

Yocto can then advertise a finite list of supported distributions, with the 
goal of widening the list over time.

Feedback?  Are these reasonable guidelines?
