That is certainly not how I see layers being built up. I am expecting
in future us to have things like.

meta-gnome
meta-kde
meta-efl
meta-lxde
meta-xorg

Obviosuly none of these is an independant layer of its own, and to make a
complete system you will require a stack of layers with the appropriate
recipes. This really is where the DISTROs come in as they select the layer
mix they want.
