Patches to fix bbappend related breakage have been submitted for review:

Thanks!

I'd advice people to stop sending huge patchset and break them up into manageable pullrequests and leave the combining to Sau!. Another option is to plainly refuse to even consider such huge patchsets so close to the freeze date.

Speaking of freeze dates, when is the schedule for oe-core going to be announced? I know there's some poky/yocto schedule somewhere, but I'm not into that, I just use oe-core.
