Denys, is it worth pulling these things in just to remove them when meta-beagle is created?  I think the better course is to do what you have done which is spell out the policy for meta-ti clearly and let these recipes get moved.  I think what is missing is a reasonable time frame being set for when these recipes will be removed from meta-ti.  Maybe I'm missing something here but it seems like if we are planning a cleanup of meta-ti that we shouldn't start it with first adding more things to cleanup.

So really I think the question is do we have an agreement on "meta-beagle" or whatever it should be called, a timeline for it to be created and the recipes moved?  Let's make meta-ti be the foundation BSP that we can all build on top of and nothing more or less.
