While I want to reply to your whole email, I want to ask now, is there really a stabilization buffer being provided? I could see that being the case if we were talking about depending on something independent of this effort (gcc, eglibc, make) but we're talking about oe-core and bitbake. The folks in charge of poky the repo are in charge of oe-core and bitbake. There might be an unintentional lag between when Richard can push changes to poky the repo, but I don't think it's great (and hey, freeing up Richard's time for other stuff is probably a good thing :)). -- Tom
