I said as much during the oe developer meeting in Berlin last year as well.

I've done work in meta-virt out of necessity, as the cadence of the various
layers
was easily getting out of sync. The problem with 'language layers', is that
they
update based on the tools/packages/libs and not a system level use case.

Having something in oe-core forces that cadence of updates + QA that makes
it much easier to use as part of the eco system.

My Canadian 2 cents worth,

Bruce
