Thanks!  My confidence is restored.

As long as including meta-yocto does not interfere with other BSPs or 
distros etc then there should be no harm in your assumption.

I would be interested to know what Mentor Graphics and Wind River do on 
their products.  Do they include meta-yocto? (YP is not all about 
comercial OS support but I know these orginatations have done the due 
diligence on layer compatibility for a non-poky distro.)
