Hi Ilya,
The meta-toolchain is still there for backward compatibilities. Another reason that the opkg-target and opkg were removed from the environment file in meta-toolchain is that now the meta-toolchain can be created not only by ipk, but by rpm/deb also, and the opkg/opkg-target is miss-leading for the rpm/deb cases.
