That's because Toaster is not a new version of Hob. Hob was created as a
simple build utility. The goal was making the process of running your
first Yocto Project build as easy as possible, and that's all it does.

Toaster aims to be a web interface to the build system (that loosely
meaning OE and BitBake). The goal is to structure it as a set of modules
that do different things. One of those modules will allow you to configure
and run builds, so that module will probably grow to the point where it
will do exactly what Hob does, and then Toaster will replace Hob. But that
point is not 1.7, I'm afraid, so Hob is not being replaced by Toaster yet.

If this needs to be clarified, I can add a "Hob's twisted relationship
with Toaster" section in the website and wiki explaining the above.

That wiki page says: "This project was formerly known as Web Hob / Webhob
/ webhob, and you
may still find references to the old name in the documentation." It was
not our intention to say that "Toaster is a replacement for Hob", so if
that's how it reads, we better change it! :)
