Oh.  That's an interesting idea.  I guess the argument against that is
the support infrastructure has a reasonable home in meta-oe and nobody
wants meta-oe to depend on meta-networking.  I do think that having some
mechanism for keeping meta-net reasonably standalone but still not full
of stuff that's on there to satisfy dependencies is good, though.
Haven't really thought much about this yet, though.
