[yocto] why does quick start guide refer to non-provided "poky-image-sato"?

I do have two branches (master and Bernard) in my yocto-docs contrib area.  The master branch is used for updates to the upcoming release and is in various states of correctness/completeness.  I guess I will need to take the time to do a push for every change I make to my local copy of yocto-docs master.

The docs that are on the website are Bernard only until we release.

I agree that the docs in master should reflect the code in master and
that the docs on the bernard branch should be the ones which make the
bernard references.

Which or both can end up on the website as needed which is a separate
issue.

I thought this had been fixed and Scott had two branches so what's going
wrong? :/

Cheers,

Richard
