Well, yes. The proposed policy is now that we should address these
kinds of issues if they get reported. Whilst I understand why and that
Khem doesn't get as much help as he needs with meta-oe, pushing the oe-
core maintainers to fix things likely won't scale. I would like to see
meta-oe quality/reliability improve though so I do understand the
desire.

Since I'd had to look into them, I've posted patches to oe-devel for
the above two issues.

Cheers,

Richard
