I thought the idea was that meta-openembedded would remain distro- and
machine- neutral and that the BSP bits would live in separate repos.
Whether we want one repo per machine or some kind of shared repository
with a bunch of distros in is, I guess, something of an open question.

In the short term you could obviously host them on github or somewhere.
(I was originally planning to do that with meta-micro, but it turned out
to be fractionally more convenient to host it on my own git server so I
did that instead.)

In the longer term I don't think there's any reason we couldn't host
those kinds of distro layers on openembedded.org, either in separate
repositories or a single shared one.  I know there was some board
discussion a few months ago about whether or not oe.org should be in the
business of hosting third party BSPs but I'm not quite sure what the
outcome of that was.
