Interesting... I never thought about the size. You are probably right. I need to start looking into trimming the whole thing. I think I also carry elements of BB Green, BBB Wireless, BB Blue, Pocket Bone.. I should get rid of these platforms. But there are layers which are overwriting the Poky elements, and a lot of unnecessary stuff these layers are also carrying. And these are NOT used there at all. Most of them. The issue of the YOCTO scalability stays as an unwanted feature. Hard to decouple packages.
