I understood that for a released BSP to be considered Yocto-compliant, the 
README.sources files is a requirement.

The wording here does imply that the sources are the ones used to generate the images that would be in the "binary/" directory.  Can someone tell me if it would be more accurate to state that the README.sources file simply indicates where the sources to build the BSP are period... regardless of whether or not any binaries are included in that directory?  Knowing that would help me make sure this section is not mis-leading.  Also, knowing that would help me choose an appropriate example to point to for the README.sources file.
