-                The term "Poky" is sometimes used to refer to the build system that the 
-                Yocto Project uses.  
-                The build system used in the Yocto project is referred to as the 
-                OpenEmbedded build system because "Poky" was derived from <ulink 
-                url='&OE_HOME_URL;'>OpenEmbedded</ulink>.
-                Poky is a stable, smaller subset focused on the mobile environment. 
-                Development in the Yocto Project using Poky is closely tied to OpenEmbedded with 
-                features being merged regularly between the two for mutual benefit.
+                The term "Poky" refers to the specific reference build system that
+                the Yocto Project provides; Poky is based upon 
+                <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#oe-core'>OE-Core</ulink>
+                and BitBake and thus the generic term used here for the build system is
+                the OpenEmbedded build system.
+                Development in the Yocto Project using Poky is closely tied to OpenEmbedded, with 
+                changes always being merged to OE-Core or BitBake first before being pulled back
+                into Poky, benefiting both projects immediately.
                 For a fuller description of the term "Poky", see the 
                 <ulink url='&YOCTO_DOCS_DEV_URL;#poky'>poky</ulink> term in the Yocto Project
