v2016.3 and other release branches on github are aligned with Xilinx tools 
release. Each release branch is based on previous stable Yocto release (2016.3 
is based on krogoth). We also dont support few things like yocto kernel, u-boot 
spl etc since these branches are used for Xilinx tools release.

These branches will not make it to yoctoproject.org, instead we upstream the 
work done in each release branch to the master of meta-xilinx.

If you are using Xilinx tools (toolchain, xsct, etc), then it is recommended 
that you stick with Xilinx release branches. If you plan to use complete 
opensource YP (meaning Yocto toolchain, kernel etc), then use master or any 
stable previous Yocto branch. Note that MPSoC may not work with Yocto kernel

Hope this helps

Thanks
Manju
