This is significantly easier to use than BBMASK though. (Perhaps that's why you don't like it?) I think we need to be realistic here as I said in my most recent reply to the other thread - people will do this using whatever mechanism is available whether we like it or not. And what are they saying by doing so? They're effectively telling us that they can't consume the recipes in the way we are currently collecting them together. We know what the proper fix for the problem is (increased splitting of large layers such as meta-oe), it may not be easy but other than workarounds like this I don't see an alternative.
