This will break at least meta-openembedded glmark2 and glcompbench.
Then meta-oe can continue to host libpng12.
I actually think allowing those recipes to fail and blacklisting them is
better. Moving libpng12 to meta-oe is the lazy way out; the proper way
to deal with such regressions is to look at the actual recipes, what
they do, why they need such an old version of libpng, and whether they
should be updated or removed from meta-oe altogether. The only way to
get people to do this real maintenance work is to break the build for
them, sadly. I cannot take on maintaining things in meta-oe in this way,
I have to draw the line somewhere, and this is it.
