By 'self-sustaining' I mean 'being able to continuously produce quality
work'. Looking at layers in meta-openembedded, not all of them are of
high quality. Meta-gnome in particular is badly out of date, because no
one wants to maintain it properly. If oe-core starts taking a lot more
volunteer contributions, and the same thing happens (a volunteer
contributes a large set of recipes, then disappears), what is supposed
to happen then?
You are missing the point. We now use layers to segregate sets of
recipes o stuff that is not interesting to many people and becomes
obsolete may decline without compromising heavily used layers. This is
all part of the evolution of OpenEmbedded over many, many years.
If people lose interest in meta-gplv2, then so be it.
This is perfectly fine with me. However, the subject has been whether
the scope of *oe-core/poky* can be expanded without compromising
quality. I'm not sure at which point it got confused with general OE, so
I can only refer you back to several emails up this thread:
