That's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that for people who want a 
'reference UI for real products' and have no problem with Qt, we should 
officially endorse meta-b2qt.

Seriosuly. They have a wayland compositor, and an app launcher, and a 
set of embedded-specific demos, and it's written and tested by 
specialists with an explicit target of making it easy to make products. 
And it's open source with optional commercial support. In that light, 
there is no sense whatsoever in solving the same problem in oe-core, poorly.

Sato is not a reference UI, and has no pretensions of being that. It's 
strictly an engineering UI, which is a different thing, and it's very 
useful in that capacity.
