Why would you want to deprive people in that situation from having a spot
(under the openembedded umbrella) under which they can share things.
Isn't sharing and cooperating what openembedded is all about ???

I understand you want people to move to oe-core, but really this should be
at the discretion of the users, and we should not give those who can not do
so right now a hard time.

Over time people will move to oe-core, as it will definitely be better
supported, have newer recipes etc. Actually for my next product I will
probably move over, but for now, with a release being imminent, moving is
not an option for me, and I consider having a place to share and exchange
bug fixes as useful.

My two cents.
Frans.
