The url works for me;)

You just mention duplicated classes and recipes here, but there are more
things which should be cleaned up ;)

The worst thing about Yocto/poky/OE is, that people can do and do things
in many mysterious ways. Looking through various meta-layers you don't
see a "common coding style", which means that you either need to twist
your brain to understand what others did, or write things from scratch.

I guess we should first publish "best practices" and then try to enforce
them in a first step with maybe with something like "WARN_QA" and
"ERROR_QA" and/or extend oelint.

What do you think?
