Does it make any sense to create a class (or extend the sanity or testlab 
classes) so that OE can inform someone when a given build is using a recipe 
that can be considered obsolete?  Perhaps we might also add a bit more 
encouragement if it were possible to have that same class call out builds that 
have selected versions with known security vulnerabilities.

This would certainly help me with the distro I maintain -- one of the questions 
I cannot easily answer, and therefore tend to ignore, is "exactly how 
out-of-date has my distro become?".

I have no patches to do such a thing, and neither do I have time to create such 
a thing at this point in time, but perhaps if someone thinks this is worthwhile 
time can be made for it...
