Officially, Poky is the build system, Yocto is the umbrella project which also 
includes a number of other sub-projects (swabber, pseudo, etc.). There are 
some that use Yocto to refer to the build system; I'm not sure that does a 
great deal of harm nor is it really relevant to this discussion.

Personally I think this is a bit disappointing. The Yocto Project and the move 
to OE-Core is supposed to provide us a way to mix and match hardware support 
with available software packages. The apparent tying of meta-texasinstruments 
to meta-angstrom goes against that philosophy, IMHO. I haven't yet heard a 
compelling technical argument for why that should be necessary.

Cheers,
Paul
