It was not in the 1.5 release however I have just realised it is in the dora branch and it is a change of behaviour there. I'm not sure it was intentionally included for 1.5.1 and that is something we need to discuss. http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?h=dora&id=0bd63125c3b44a656e44f2a76cc5f832c9db4bbd I would say that the change is in master and is intentional however and if you look at the search order, it does make more sense this way around. Any distro override file should come first, then say armv7, then armv6 and so on. In the original order, arm overrides armv7 which overrides machine specific which makes no sense. On those grounds it is a valid bug fix for 1.5.1 IMO.
