Yes, sorry, I intended that, but didn't make that clear. Agreed.

Hrm, that's too bad. I really like the explicit coupling of the OE
distro definition to the linux-yocto branch. It helps reinforce the
concept of distro defined policy. I think I know where you are coming
from though.

How about:
yocto/base
yocto/standard/default
yocto/standard/rt
yocto/standard/tiny
"default" makes sense to me since, well, it is what we would use as the
default if no specification in made. Also, it's a shorter way of saying
"general purpose", which describes this policy/config fairly well.

It's less typing! I like less typing. But if we're going to do that, why
not:
base
standard/poky
standard/poky-rt
standard/poky-tiny
If you would prefer to keep the branches build-system/distro agnostic,
then I think the ideal would be:
base
standard/default
standard/rt
standard/tiny
And, it's even LESS typing! Fingers, wrists, and keyboards everywhere
will be thanking us. ;-)
