Paul,

as the meta-sbom-cve-check layer shows, sbom-cve-check can co-exist with the 
old cve-check.
It does not have to be the super-invasive with breaking change.

So in theory it should be pretty easy to copy 3 classes and bunch of support 
recipes.
But I'm also fine with having an external layer for that.

Question is if Yocto project would also switch cve-metrics to the 
sbom-cve-check.
That would of course highly increase the open CVE numbers but would also help 
identify missing CVE fixes.

Benjamin,

This is super cool.
However, cve-metrics uses sbom-cve-check-recipe, which is not part of this 
layer.
When updating, please consider adding it.

Peter
