My proposal is to align OE and poky and in turn for benefit of community.
Yocto as I understand has a bigger scope and uses OE/poky for the
build system that it uses. Which in
general is also good for OE development. If we design the layers well it will be
very portable and componentized. How yocto itself operates is probably
is a separate thing
they may make some good moves which benefits OE and thats what we
should be interested in
and concerned about and I am sure that if we do something that is
beneficial then yocto using poky
build system will definitely like it too.
