Perhaps we should have qt5 as a distro feature instead?
Isn't that a different naming for the same thing not working properly
if you don't have meta-qt5 in layers?
Isn't this a reason for moving vlc out of meta-openembedded?
Or alternatively moving qt5 to meta-openembedded.

This discussion turns into the same direction as seen before on other occasions:
My priority is building images where things work out of the box and it
seems this expectation is not common here. There are several default
configurations around reducing things down to death to save build time
and make yocto script happy. I disagree completely but won't discuss
further. So I will
* send V3 of this patch not enabling qt5 if meta-qt5 is in layers
* add a bbappend to my meta-mortsgna because that's what distro layers are for

The issue here is the different 'out of the box' situations Yocto needs
to support. Some of the boards I've deployed images on have 16MB flash
for the rootfs (with a greatly reduced write speed to the volume due to
hardware bugs), others currently have a 16GB SD card in them.
Distro layers are the right place for making cut off decisions on the
minimum you'll support. A distro config that produces 'out of the box'
working images for a subset of the boards Yocto Project supports is
definitely a good thing to have.
