Releases only receive critical and security fixes, a recipe will never[1]
be removed once a release branch has frozen.

I think you're remembering wrong, or using master.

    libwnck3: remove the recipe

    Nothing requires it in oe-core now, so it will be re-added to
meta-openembedded.

$ git branch -r --contains 5741419426c6f8255d55560e3a4721fa4c68a179 | grep
oe-core/
  oe-core/master
  oe-core/pyro

It was removed in master *after* morty branched, and was subsequently aded
to meta-oe.

[1] Almost never.  Don't think it's ever happened but we won't remove a
recipe from a stable release because we don't like it.
