For others' reference, buildhistory-extra.bbclass was previously attached to 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8138 - I didn't and wouldn't 
propose introducing it into OE-Core in its current form because it's kind of 
turning buildhistory into something it wasn't designed for, though I don't 
disagree that it's useful. Happy to hear opinions from others on this though.

One aspect that will probably change in the future is how it picks up the 
kernel configuration - for 
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5574 (which I hope to get to 
for 2.1, but no promises) we will need to write the kernel configuration to the 
sysroot so that we have somewhere we can look for it; if that's the case 
there'll be no need to copy it specially in buildhistory-extra.bbclass.

Cheers,
Paul
