world builds from
http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/Bitbake_World_Status
already have around ~50 failed recipes per architecture, I don't think
we need more now :/

Do we have some volunteers to fix-up meta-oe/* layers?

I'm going to use PNBLACKLIST more aggressively as agreed on OEDAM, but
with this speed next meta-oe release will have half of recipes which
were available in daisy.
