Its going to happen in org.openembedded.dev over the next few weeks as
far as I know.

I'd really like some help with this, I don't think I can do it alone.
I've converted Poky entirely which is hopefully proof it works and can
be done along with providing a ton of examples.

I'm hoping most of that is behind us. Obviously if the conversion isn't
made correctly there is a risk of breakage but outside of the areas like
toolchains, it should be contained to small areas.
