Please consider that Yocto is not a distribution. It's a toolkit for 
creating distributions aimed at embedded use cases. While Poky is a 
reference distro created using Yocto components, it has a fairly limited 
set of supported hardware, which is mostly various QEMU emulator 
machines. Almost anyone else will have a different machine, different 
distribution features, and various other customizations. So any attempt 
to provide an 'offical' package feed from Yocto itself will just cause 
confusion and breakage, and will tie up the limited manpower we have 
even more.
