[yocto-ab] Form submission from: Yocto Project Compatible Registration

[Osier-mixon, Jeffrey]

Hi Sanil - I may be misunderstanding your concern. If Poky becomes YP
Compatible, it seems to me that that would alleviate some of the
confusion for the circumstances you mention. It is far more confusing
if Poky is a basic component but not Compatible. Maybe there is some
aspect I am not seeing?

thanks
