MySQL and PostgreSQL are not in oe-core so it cannot be replaced with simple PACKAGECONFIG option in oe-core recipe, but I also prefer to share such .bbappend somewhere instead of every distribution reinventing the wheel when trying to enable something as simple as db in qt. I don't see any reason the oe-core recipe couldn't provide the packageconfig options, even missing the dependencies. They are valid package configuration options, so they should exist in PACKAGECONFIG. If a distro wants to enable one of them, however, they'd better include the layers that provide the deps :)
RPM and Smart integrations both have configuration options that are invalid for most configurations or sometimes need additional software provided via a layer. I think this is acceptable, as long as the configuration selects the proper DEPENDS/RDEPENDS to ensure the items work properly in the end.
