Please don't do the meta-openembedded part!

I believe that meta-oe is too large to be maintainable and that we need
a larger number of smaller layers.

Having tensorflow in its own layer which as a specific purpose and its
specific maintainers who understand it is in my view much more
desirable and sustainable.
