Sorry to jump in here, but this is actually a very interesting point. 
 From coming to OpenEmbedded through Yocto and subsequently learning 
about the ecosystem as a whole, I have always considered meta-yocto to 
be providing a sane distro configuration. This implies that I believe 
the oe-core default distro configuration, even though it will build, the 
result won't be very satisfying - or maybe a bit disjointed.

You seem to be saying above that the meta-yocto layer is only any good 
for providing the kernel framework, and as he is not using the framework 
(i.e. using meta-ti) then there is no point in using the meta-yocto 
layer? So does the Poky distro config only really slap a name on the 
oe-core default distro policy - or does it have some added value?

I'm not trying to rile anyone up here, just trying to put the jigsaw 
together as the picture looks different every time I revisit it!!
