I think there is value in it even in the state you see it in master; there is 
documentation on basic BitBake usage/operation that isn't actually covered by 
any of the Yocto Project manuals.

Having said that, we are currently in the process of updating and extending 
the BitBake manual. We didn't have a chance to finish doing so for 1.5 but will 
get it done for 1.6.

Cheers,
Paul
