"The right thing"? Is forcing RPM package management "the right thing"? Is moving DEPLOY_DIR "the right thing"?

For MACHINE settings yes, for DISTRO settings, no

DISTRO settings in a BSP violates the Yocto Compatible rules as well as the established OE rules, I don't see why that should get changed.

In this specific case, a BSP can set COMPATIBLE_HOST on the recipes that need to be hardfloat.

In OE classic we had an ABI flag to set this globally, in OE-core the powers that be force us to set a tune per machine in the DISTRO config. The price of progress I guess.
