I talked to Otavio on the phone, and he asked me to reply here (he's 
going to be offline for some hours)

He prefers (and I agree) that uses poky master-next is not the best for 
us. Poky master-next does not act like meta-fsl-arm master-next, and 
sometimes it's behind master.

And, (now you read it with my voice) I think our master-next is 
basically for testing, and use poky/master-next includes a second 
variable that we cannot control on meta-fsl-arm test.

I may say it's a trick change. Mostly we want users to be on latest 
stable branch (developers on master), and if you see on github the 
default README file shown is the master one. So the default 
"recomendation" would be stay on latest stable.

I'm not sure if I made me clean. Please, let me know any doubt.
