Have you looked at the delta recently? Yocto uses OE-Core with the
single addition of the meta-yocto layer which is tiny. Just like
angstrom use the meta-angstrom layer and the meta-oe layer.

Again, please look at the delta between upstream bitbake and the one in
poky. All bitbake patches are now landing upstream first. There were
issues, we came up with a plan to address them and we're doing what we
said we would do...

We *know* the machine definition isn't there, its deliberate. We came up
with a plan to create OE-Core and to get Poky and OE both migrated to
using it. This process is not 100% complete yet although it gets closer
every day.
