Philip,

I don't understand what you are arguing here about or against? :)

It won't change much for you, maybe just setup step a little.

The proposal above is to split meta-ti and meta-arago repositories into 
multiple layers inside those repositories, like meta-oe already does.

Your example above is a good one - having BSP, DSP and SGX in 3 separate 
layers allows you to enable first two w/o the need to get the second one 
parsed or used.
