To me this clearly indicates the current problem with openembedded.

Apparenlty some people do not care on properly maintaining their
recipes, addressing issues and patches raised by the community,
reviewing and commenting on them.
But of course there is always time to grunt and whine and bash if
others with less knowledge try to give attention to those patches.

Especially from a company like TI I had expected a somewhat more
professional attitude wrt patches and improving their recipes.

I guess is that this is one of the areas where we as OE community
loose when compared to yocto.
