The answer from 2022-07-18 on #yocto channel:

20:20 < hushmoney> what does clm1 stand for as in clm1.bbclass?
20:20 < hushmoney> s/clm1/cml1/g
20:31 < JaMa> hushmoney: interesting question, the bbclass was introduced
very long time ago (already included in 2004
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/?h=master&id=a780643c4b6aa11e1a36965a69df7116477c7b4c)
and it was very small until
https://git.openembedded.org/openembedded/commit/?h=master&id=f6433e75a047a2d38ab60efea8a7ab7cc3dcd822
Don't know what it really stands for
20:35 < hushmoney> yes that's what i saw too
20:37 < hushmoney> i grepped the linux source for cml1 and only found
references to some clock in modules and device trees, don't think that's
related
20:45 < JaMa> http://www.catb.org/~esr/cml2/ANNOUNCEMENT
20:48 < hushmoney> wow, good find! still doesn't answer what cml stands
for, but at least i know now to what it refers and that more answers lie
outside of yocto history
20:50 < hushmoney> here it is. cml = Configuration Menu Language
20:50 < hushmoney> JaMa: thanks!
20:51 < hushmoney> sort of an odd choice for that bbclass name, but at
least now i know where it came from
20:56 < kergoth> hushmoney: it's named based on the ocnifguration language
it interacts with, as it's common to more than just kernels, it's used by
busybox, buildroot, and other projects as well
