Agreed,

it might be nicer to have x11 separated in some meta-x11 layer and
meta-sato in another layer as well, but as long as there is no clear
replacement and x11 in oe-core doesn't cause too much work I think that
dropping x11 from DISTRO_FEATURES is working quite nicely for people
who don't care about x11 at all already.

Maybe it would make sense to remove x11 from default DISTRO_FEATURES
and/or include opengl+wayland instead?

Cheers,
