more pedantry: i notice that a small number of layers (eg,
meta-freescale, meta-mentor) include "dynamic" layers, so that some
sublayers are included only conditionally if others layers are
included. from meta-freescale's layer.conf:
///// start
# The dynamic-layers directory hosts the extensions and layer specific
# modifications related to Freescale products.
#
# The .bbappend and .bb files are included if the respective layer
# collection is available.
BBFILES += "${@' '.join('${LAYERDIR}/dynamic-layers/%s/recipes*/*/*.bbappend'
% layer \
for layer in BBFILE_COLLECTIONS.split())}"
BBFILES += "${@' '.join('${LAYERDIR}/dynamic-layers/%s/recipes*/*/*.bb' %
layer \
for layer in BBFILE_COLLECTIONS.split())}"
///// end
where the "dynamic-layers" directory in that layer contains further
recipe directories with .bbappend files related to other layers:

drwxrwxr-x. 3 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 efl-layer
drwxrwxr-x. 3 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 filesystem-layer
drwxrwxr-x. 4 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 networking-layer

drwxrwxr-x. 3 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 qt4-layer
drwxrwxr-x. 3 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 qt5-layer
drwxrwxr-x. 3 rpjday rpjday 4096 Jun 26 06:36 virtualization-layer
seems like an interesting idea ... opinions on whether this is a
useful approach? or possibly overly confusing? is this approach
mentioned in any OE/YP doc?
