There are currently two targetted communities (nslu2-linux and openmoko)
who very publicly use Makefiles.  But yet, that is publicly scorned by
the OE core team (and Koen in particular) to the extent that it is a
minuted outcome of the last OE core team meeting.

So if the second option is not allowed by the OE core team, then perhaps
we should focus on the first option.  However, various individuals
continue to treat OE users (as opposed to OE developers) with scorn and
derision.

Does the OE core team simply not want people to use OE unless you are a
distribution developer?
