Echoing what Koen and Tom already said I an only agree. It looks like a good
description of the BSPs. We would need to look over the naming, Yocto, Poky,
OE-core, etc, again after we have settled oe-core.

Another thing is how we will handle include files like for omap3. Having these
in core would not really work with the separate BSP layers. Having it in every
omap3 based BSP brings in duplication and fragmentation and having it in another
omap3-core layer brings in yet another layer.

Any good ideas for this?
