This doesn't make much sense to me. It's impossible to know what all
layers use a given piece of functionality, particularly ones that
aren't published in public places, so expecting every person changing
something in oe-core will go and submit changes to every layer that
exists is entirely unreasonable. If you maintain a layer, it's your
responsibility to make sure your layer retains compatibility with
upstream. It's not upstream's responsibility to make sure everyone
using their functionality stays compatible.
