At this point, I have to remind everyone about our harsh reality. Which is having lots of core pieces without maintainers: https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/tree/MAINTAINERS.md#n45 Let's focus on adding foundational pieces of layer and configuration management in a controlled, testable and tested manner for now.
