FYI there is a patch I submitted the other day to bitbake-devel which tracks these in their own internal list. The next step is that when a NoProvider event comes up we can look through this list to see if the requested target is in there, and if so report that it was skipped along with the reason why. I would think that this obviates the need to show the list of skipped packages at the start, although we could easily allow them to be reported via some other mechanism. This is a separate exercise to sorting out the flow of exceptions within bitbake, but still very important for the overall task of improving error output.
