There is a bigger issue here than the name of package and that the reason i
brought this matter up.
Angstrom without any dough is the biggest distro supported by OE, but its
not the only one.
No one should also dough that Koen has done a lot of work (and is still
doing) and credits should go to him for a lot of the things in OE, including
the angstrom-minimal-image.bb, but i believe the real issue goes beyond the
developer/distro thing.

Actions like that, give the wrong signals to the people who are looking at
OE for incorporation/support of their products(and believe me there are
*alot* that do that as we speak)
If a distro maintainer (or any OE developer in that fact) comes with a way
of handling things better for his distro that could be used as a generic
framework for others it should be done so and not discouraged.

I am firm believer in community work and that things that could benefit the
OE community should be handled as such and not as distro-specific.
