If something needs a PE bump, make sure you do it properly and bump PE 
on the non scm fetched entries as well. For the kernel I wouldn't bump 
PE, since too many machines can use different kernel recipes.

And can someone tell me how SRCPV works when you have multiple 
buildmachines across the world, how does one keep SRCPV in sync between 
all those machines?

How does SRCPV work when you have recipes for 1.2+gitrfoo, 1.3+gitrbar, etc?

IOW: will it create more work for me (like the proposed checksums 
changes) instead of making things easier?
