Many thanks to Denys for pointing me to
http://openembedded.org/wiki/OpenEmbedded-Core. You won't believe how
I've poured over that page and how many "lights have gone on" while
reading it (over and over).

If poky started as a fork of OE but is now a distribution, wouldn't it
make sense to remove the "meta" directory from poky and simply have
people add openembedded-core as a layer (as they would any other
layer)?

Or am I going down the wrong path with this thought?

Of course it might be confusing having, potentially, both an
openembedded-core and a meta-openembedded layer, but it seems like
having the "meta" directory in poky is redundant, given that it is
already its own layer in openembedded-core.
