I am not sure what you mean, really, but either way: I would prefer
getting back on track.

... or just listen to the user what he is writing... :-) I am a user
of Yocto project. I am reporting issues against Yocto, on the Yocto
issue tracker, etc. Fwiw, I am not even planning to use the "Poky"

Either way, I do not wish to continue arguing over these words because
it is not that useful for anyone IMHO.

I would prefer more input about the actual proposal.
