That's awfully shortsighted and not the direction OE has been going in 
for the past years. A small example:

* kernel
* initramfs/initrd
* rootfs

Only the rootfs has a packagemanager, but the initramfs/initrd doesn't. 
This shows that a single distro can build image both with and without 
packagemanagement.
Saying "distros should only do <foo>" is for the distros to decide.
