I believe this was in the context of the sub layers in 
meta-openembedded.  OE ( community)  could be driving that work, changes 
etc.

I think the response to resources was in the context of the Yocto 
project and possible the assumption YP would do the work.

In the context of having Patchwork extended to other layers, this could 
be supported by the community with little impact on the YP.

Please see
