I'm not entirely sure who "we" is in this context, but the choice of
login manager has, historically, been a distro decision.  

Reading between the lines I assume what you're actually saying here is
that Poky has decided to switch from tinylogin to busybox, which
obviously is fine.  It's not entirely obvious to me that this is a very
compelling reason to remove tinylogin from oe-core, though equally I
guess there is no reason it couldn't live in some other layer instead.
