I'm one of the users that is stuck using Edison 6.0.  I'm desperate
for the ability to generate a toolchain and sysroot that matches our
target.  Right now I have to build meta-toolchain and then manually
look in the tmp for sysroot-destdir related stuff from our build and
copy it to the sysroot in /opt/poky and hand that out to developers.
When our sister group overseas makes a change that effects the sysroot
it breaks our build and I have to figure out what happened and
manually adjust our sysroot to fix the problem.  I sure would like to
be able to just do an update and then bitbake the toolchain to pick up
the changes.  I figure we are stuck with Edison for a while ... can I
back port these toolchain features you all are talking about to
Edison?

Regards,

Brian
