[yocto] the current dev manual seems to overly emphasize the importance of meta-intel

  perusing the current dev manual and it reads:

"Supported Board Support Packages (BSPs): The Yocto Project provides a
layer called meta-intel and it is maintained in its own separate Git
repository..."

  this wording *seems* to suggest there is something magical about the
meta-intel layer as compared to the numerous other layers. in
particular, this statement further down just adds to that impression:

"To get started with the BSPs, you need to use Git to create a local
clone of the upstream repository."

  i see no problem with using the meta-intel layer as an *example* but
that section should be reworded to not make the reader think that
meta-intel is unique in some weird sense. just my $0.02.
