Those, in fact, were due to a flawed release process. They indicate that
the meta-intel build was built on the specified poky version. They did not
indicate any particular development milestone within meta-intel, however,
as tags should. We will be correcting this confusion at the time of the
1.6 meta-intel release by purging all the meaningless tags. I do apologize
for the confusion there.

Ah, that's a valid concern. It is always our aim to never introduce
anything but important bug-fixes, always backports, to released branches.
That said, point releases should happen afterward if significant changes
have been made - or if only small changes were made and enough time has
passed - as was the case there.

Thanks!
