[oe] Is Angstrom dead?

[Gary Thomas]

It sure feels like it :-(

For a week, I've been trying to build various images in Angstrom
and the problems I've faced have gone totally unanswered on either
the Angstrom or OE mailing lists.  I'm not the only one facing
these problems either.

I'm mostly interested in building beagleboard-linuxtag2010-demo-image
which [at least] implies it should be a great demo to show at
LinuxTag (which starts in only a few days now).  Surely a show
piece would be something that a popular project would want to
support and be available to the masses??

I tried again today, updating to org.openembedded.dev branch,
commit a2834c64fb3ed535fca51c25547754fa907e4ca5  Sadly, new
problems (and probably still the old ones) remain:

Nothing special - out of the box config file with
