This change is probably high impact in that it changes behaviour the most of any of the changes. It does make image builds use a lot less sstate and in theory, if there are issues with failures from this, there are probably existing races. It does also have CI impact as it changes the things which are built as not all build tasks now run. Open to opinions on whether we should do this now or not. The meta class is pretty useless and should be removed regardless. Cheers, Richard
