sorry, didn't mean to start something this early in the morning ...
ok, i did. :-)
in any event, can we agree that:
1) it's bad layer design if the simple act of including a layer in
bblayers.conf suddenly causes weird things to happen like the above?
2) regardless of how the developer eventually does it, picking up
those PREFERRED VERSIONS from meta-openstack should require *some*
kind of explicit selection?
