Let me frase this in another way. My project has all and every
configuration needed into a distro conf file. I want to create a
.conf.json to share. Can I create one file without any
variant/fragment/bitbake configuration?

Or, Why is the variant "poky" empty? [1]

Or, why is there "two pokys" for me to choose?

```
Available configurations:
1. poky-master  Poky - The Yocto Project testing distribution
configurations and hardware test platforms

Available bitbake configurations:
1. poky Poky - The Yocto Project testing distribution
```
from the iterative `bitbake-setup init` output, from [2]

I may have made mistakes with the concepts, but those were the
questions I made myself when I first started trying to understand
`bitbake-setup` and I'm not a newcomer, so I assume for the newcomer
it will be even more confusing.

And when I created the draft `conf.json` for meta-freescale I realized
I could just choose none of the variants (because the base is the
DISTRO and I might want only that)

I'm not sure it makes sense, please help me understand
