By 'self-sustaining' I mean 'being able to continuously produce quality 
work'. Looking at layers in meta-openembedded, not all of them are of 
high quality. Meta-gnome in particular is badly out of date, because no 
one wants to maintain it properly. If oe-core starts taking a lot more 
volunteer contributions, and the same thing happens (a volunteer 
contributes a large set of recipes, then disappears), what is supposed 
to happen then?
