Hi, I updated the dev-manual section that tells the user what is in this repo and shows an example of cloning it. Nothing changes except for the name, which I switched to 'meta-yocto-kernel-extras'. To me, it appears that the contents of the repo still contain the kernel BitBake append files that you edit to point to your locally modified kernel source files as described in the text. Within the entire YP documentation set, this little area is the only reference to the old 'poky-extras' repo. Here is the link to see the changes - http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/1.5/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#meta-yocto-kernel-extras-repo.
I am assuming that the name of the repo will indeed be changed to 'meta-yocto-kernel-extras'. If I don't hear from anyone, I will assume everything is good.
