Not sure what the status is for patches for bitbake itself, but I have 
one pending ("lib/bb/utils: prevent movefile from changing dest dir 
permissions" sent to bitbake-devel on April 10), which I was hoping 
would make it into Sumo. The effect when the bug strikes is pretty 
weird, in our case it causes /etc to end up with mode 644 rather than 
755 when building an SDK in a Docker container...
