I actually think allowing those recipes to fail and blacklisting them is 
better. Moving libpng12 to meta-oe is the lazy way out; the proper way 
to deal with such regressions is to look at the actual recipes, what 
they do, why they need such an old version of libpng, and whether they 
should be updated or removed from meta-oe altogether. The only way to 
get people to do this real maintenance work is to break the build for 
them, sadly. I cannot take on maintaining things in meta-oe in this way, 
I have to draw the line somewhere, and this is it.
