The changes to bitbake were complex and relied on previous work. Whether that work was even present in the kirkstone version of bitbake, I'm not sure. I've be very nervous about trying to backport that kind of change to a release as far through the LTS cycle as kirkstone is, particularly as it changes behaviour. You didn't mention whether you had tested those fixes against kirkstone? Even if so, I'd still probably be nervous about making changes like this as people might be relying on the existing behaviour or have their own workarounds. Cheers, Richard
