Overall, it's great to see the recipes updated, but we don't typically 
keep the older versions of recipes around.  So if you want to preserve 
the older version, it should be moved meta-oe.  The only case we keep 
older recipes is for License changes from GPLv2 -> GPLv3 where it makes 
sense.

So, the request would be a v2 that also removes the 1.2.50 recipe.

Thanks
