There are tests for ide-sdk in
meta/lib/oeqa/selftest/cases/devtool.py, should they be adjusted to
use the fragment?

This is somewhat more worrying. Having the settings bundled into the
fragment this way quietly opens a big security hole in users'
configuration, something they did not necessarily consent to. The
original fragment at least warns the users of the dangers involved,
this one doesn't.

I would much rather take an opportunity to set up proper key-based
authentication or something else better than simply not having a
password. There was already reluctance to having the original
empty-password fragment (because it's the easy way out that only
delays solving the problem properly), and spreading these settings to
other fragments makes the situation worse.
