[yocto] is it not a *requirement* that layers start with "meta-"?

If you use the yocto scripts for setting up a new layer, it
automatically prepends 'meta-'. That may be why there is no
requirement.Lachlan

 just proofing the BSP Guide and i read again that starting a layer
 name with "meta-" is not an actual requirement, it's just standard
 practice. but is there no code/script anywhere that requires that
 prefix to process the layer properly?

 i'm pretty sure i've run across YP utilities that check specifically
 for a "meta-" prefix, so that would make that prefix mandatory,
would
 it not? i wish i could remember where i've seen this, but it eludes
me
 at the moment.
