I think you misunderstood my intent somewhat. I don't want you to queue 
these patches anywhere, they are preliminary. Their purpose is twofold:

1) People interested in playing and testing that poky branch with 
introspection may want to use recipes or whole layers from meta-oe as 
well (gupnp for instance).

2) I'd like to demonstrate to you that meta-oe will be taken care of 
when introspection lands in oe-core, because historically there's been 
some bad blood regarding those disruptive oe-core changes :)

However, I'm reluctant to provide the patchset for oe-contrib. The 
reason is that I've been maintaining the poky patchset since November; 
it's more or less rebasing, merge conflicts fixing and world rebuilding 
once every one or two weeks. I wouldn't want to duplicate this ongoing 
work for oe-contrib as well, and keep the two branches in sync, because 
I don't actually know when these patches make it to master. So if you 
want to try them out against pure oe-core, you have to extract and apply 
them by hand, I'm afraid. As a one-off task, it should not be complicated.
