[yocto] Best practices for copying recipe from a newer release

[Matt Schuckmann]

I find myself in the situation where my project is currently using meta-openembedded from the Dylan branch but I want to use a recipe from the current master.
Is it better for me to copy the recipe into my own branch off of Dylan or to copy the recipe into my own meta-layer?

What works out better later on when I want update by project to use a newer release like Daisy, etc?

Thanks,
Matt S

PS. I don't think it matters much, but the recipe in question is the v4l-utils_1.6.2 recipe
