It's conceptually not right to have a distro dependency in the
BSP settings, IMO.
If your distro/image does not need something the BSP thinks is
necessary, the distro/image itself should deal with that.
This is problem to a bigger extent too. Many BSPs try to pull in all
kinds of extra things, such as gstreamer plugins, even if the image
being built doesn't need such things.
I think it is overall a bad idea to force BSP to pull in lot of high
level user space components by default that are not essential for the
basic functionality (boot-to-init), be it thermald or gstreamer. This
doesn't apply only to poky-tiny, but to many other distros too. I would
rather like to see those as optional extra that can be enabled through a
variable.
