Hi, This is ultimately a decision the YP TSC will need to make (it concerns YP testing) but I wanted to give people an opportunity to provide feedback.
There are two patch series for OE-Core master which both break meta- gplv2. I personally have no enthusiasm for that layer and I don't think its reasonable to ask submitter to care about that layer at this point either. I believe the concept of meta-gplv2 is broken. We don't want to maintain old versions of the software in a clean room style environment as the upstreams all move forward with new development, features and incompatibilities. It was created as a bandaid, its probably time to move on? We'd be better off looking at replacing these components with others with acceptable licensing, as Alex recently demonstrated in OE-Core. I appreciate there are people who use the layer and people have been relatively responsive in maintaining it and finding workarounds for issues introduced by changes in OE-Core. We may be able to do so again. I think there are layers YP testing should cover which we currently don't. I also think there are layers we test currently which we should drop, particularly this one. Thoughts from anyone?
