Well, the most common request we've gotten from the developers is that
they want to be able to search through all the sources, e.g., to find
out where a particular function is used. The tmp directory does not
lend itself very well to this, given that it also contains all build
trees, applied patches and other meta information that bitbake needs.
Thus the idea for the parallel tree with only the source references.

A shadow tree of links to the source is "mostly harmless" to experts
and useful for newbies and code browsers as you explained.
The src dir should be under tmp/src though since anything
that can be regenerated shouldn't be in the top level
project directory.
I'll fix that: tmp/srctree
We don't pay that much (enough?) attention to the SECTION tag
and something like half of the oe-core recicpes doen't
have one. I suppose this feature would encourage us to
fix that.
Have you run your script with meta-openembedded and other layers?
I've run it with core-image-minimal and core-image-sato.
(I do not think they pull anything in from meta-openembedded)
A new patchset will soon be available.
