It does seem a little bit strange, yes.  If it's just a short period
then I don't think there should be any real problem with granting yocto
a short freeze in oe-core so that they can do their branching.  

Of course, this isn't going to scale very well if every user of oe-core
starts asking for a development freeze so that they can cut their own
release branches, and it isn't totally obvious to me that yocto couldn't
just as easily have branched from some semi-arbitrary point and then
cherry-picked or reverted a few changes to get to where they wanted.  

Possibly the intent is to make a standalone release of oe-core itself on
the back of whatever yocto ends up shipping, I dunno.  That seems like
it might be a reasonable enough way to get a version of OE-core that
other people can build on without having to repeat all the QA and
release engineering work that yocto are presumably doing for themselves.

But at the end of the day, I guess, it's Richard's tree and he is
perfectly entitled to freeze it whenever he wishes.  OE-core is still
quite a young project and it seems sensible enough to try different
things and see what works.
