the reason for .inc to exist does include this usecase. oe-core metadata is extensible by these constructs, it's similar to bbclass perhaps a bit smaller in scope. Getting rid of .inc will state that we do not allow other layers to use it. These are APIs of sorts that oe-core exports and people build on them, its fine if they should be changed but there should some well understood path otherwise they just make hard things harder. The load of upgrading from one release to other is already high and it keeps going up. > Please make it self-contained. > > Alex
