OK then, how about this instead:

1) Ensure the "openembedded-core" repository is kept up-to-date

2) Add a "meta-openembedded" repository and ensure it is kept up-to-date

3) Add a warning to the description for the contracted name repositories that 
the fully-named repositories should be used instead, so we can eventually drop 
them

4) Change documentation / scripts to match #3

Cheers,
Paul
