I still think that the 'exclude" feature would be better.:)

IMHO an exclude function would simply be an automated rm -f<list>  at the
end of the install process.

It should be fairly easy to implement this if someone thinks it's a better
idea then making individual recipes run a rm -f of their own.

I wonder if, in general, it'd be useful to implement glob exclusions.
In other words, our list of patterns could become more like a
.gitignore file:
/foo/*
!/foo/bar

I considered that early on in the Yocto Project work -- but decided against it due to simply the complications required to ensure that the patterns worked as the end user expected them.

I know the bitbake back end and OE classes have matured since then, it may be easier to implement now -- if so I'm certainly interested in this.
