=== excerpt

# IMAGE_FEATURES control content of the core reference images
#
# By default we install task-core-boot and task-base packages - this gives us
# working (console only) rootfs.
#
# Available IMAGE_FEATURES:

... snip ...

CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL = '\
    task-core-boot \
    task-base-extended \
    \
    ${CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL} \
    '

CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL ?= ""

IMAGE_INSTALL ?= "${CORE_IMAGE_BASE_INSTALL}"

=== excerpt

  first, the early comment refers to "task-base" when what's included
is actually "task-base-extended".  (perhaps it's worth adding a
pointer to where one can read the definition of that task as well?)

  and second, the early comment claims that "IMAGE_FEATURES" controls
the content of the core reference images but says nothing about the
user having control with CORE_IMAGE_EXTRA_INSTALL as well.  and
there's no mention of EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES anywhere there, either.

  all in all, that's kind of a confusing file to RTFS.
