Let me turn this question back at you then: is Yocto going to be doing thorough Q&A for all of these HW platforms? Decent Q&A is what really sets Yocto apart, and what makes it my first port of call, but I got a feeling that the scope of this is at the moment somewhat restricted as far as HW is concerned; without Q&A 'fixes' quickly turn into problems -- I'd rather be pulling kernel from somewhere that deals with the specific HW that pick up generic fixes without the Q&A. (Though admittedly working with some silicon vendors specific meta layers can be real PITA :) ).
