I'm fairly sure these patches will not make it to pyro - they are for
2.4 only. So everyone will have a few months to fix up their layers
before 2.4 is out.

We probably should have a section in the release notes that lists
removed recipes. There are more layers than meta-oe, obviously they
can't be all fixed in sync with oe-core.

I would rather remove glcompbench, as it was last updated in 2012
upstream. If someone objects, they should step up and actually maintain
the code and the recipe.
Generally, such fixes scale poorly in the absence of proper recipe
maintainers: we are lucky there's just two recipes, but what if there
was twenty?
