[yocto] CGL compliance layer initiative

[Vali Cobelea]

OK Paul, that indeed makes sense, I really did not knew that preliminary 
versions of layers are accepted.
I will discuss around here and if everything goes OK we will start the 
move in the "public" layer index.
I also do agree with an all-together strategy, no matter for the layer 
state.


Much appreciated,
Vali
