I suppose it wouldn't be possible to rename the recipes as well? It 
would be cleaner to have them adopt the GStreamer 1.0 recipe naming 
convention. So, for example, no more gst-plugins-bad_1.0.23.bb , but 
gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad_1.0.23.bb for example.

I guess that this would break compatibility with some existing layers 
that still use 0.10.
