While I want to reply to your whole email, I want to ask now, is there
really a stabilization buffer being provided?  I could see that being
the case if we were talking about depending on something independent of
this effort (gcc, eglibc, make) but we're talking about oe-core and
bitbake.  The folks in charge of poky the repo are in charge of oe-core
and bitbake.  There might be an unintentional lag between when Richard
can push changes to poky the repo, but I don't think it's great (and
hey, freeing up Richard's time for other stuff is probably a good thing
:)).
