Is switching BSPs on and off good idea for stable feeds? And that's not
complaint against generating bblayers.conf, just against idea to switch
layers on and off because it's easy.

Because ie with few PRINC in BSP layer you can get PRs going backwards.
I know you're aware of such problems and won't allow that to happen.
Just pointing for others that layers are not such nice colorfull boxes
from yocto diagram, one can stack easily and then switch them on and off 
everytime there is something nice or bad.
