I don't think it is in the best interest of the Yocto Project to have such a 
requirement.

If we deem the layer is useful and good for us, and if there's a dedicated 
maintainer of it etc then I don't think we need to require membership of any 
level (participant/compliant). On the contrary I think the companies and 
persons donating this to us rather help us boost the Yocto Project without 
themselves being able to have their word in the decision making and steering 
of the ship. Therefore I don't think meta-zynq is any troublesome either.

I personally doubt hosting of this layer is a significant factor when it comes 
to Freescale joining the AB or not.
