  ah, good to know, i was starting to get that impression from the
readings. (is there any mention in the docs that meta-toolchain is
deprecated? if that's the correct word.)

  i was just perusing the testsdk.bbclass file, where i read at the
top:

  # testsdk.bbclass enables testing for SDK and Extensible SDK
  #
  # For run SDK tests you need to do,
  # - bitbake core-image-sato -c populate_sdk
  # - bitbake core-image-sato -c testsdk
  #
  # For run eSDK tests you need to do,
  # - bitbake core-image-sato -c populate_sdk_ext
  # - bitbake core-image-sato -c testsdkext

does that testing actually require the core-image-sato image? that's
certainly what those comments seem to suggest.
