In the e-mail I mentioned that if you are using M2 1.2 (means the
milestone 2 of version 1.2). 1,2 final will be released sometime in
the next few weeks/months.

Sometime between 1.1 and 1.2 M2 - the behavior has been changed where
the warning you described below has been changed to an error - thereby
- the said .so files are not actually included.

This does not apply if you are using 1.0 or 1.1 (not sure about 1.1
myself - I jumped from 1.0 to 1.2 M2)

Eventually - if/when you will be using a newer release of yocto - your
recipe will fail to work as expected - unless you have that insane
skip.

This is correct.
