Yes, but that's also due, in general to the nature of the branch.
Angstrom/TI related stuff was going master->2011.03-maintenance before
I clarified that coming from oe-core is also fine.  As of yet, no one

here, and I intend to keep an eye on things".  Having angstrom-2008.1
in there seems to be good enough for most cases.
