Yes, this sounds like a very reasonable approach.

In general (this applies to anyone out there), we're interested to know
what kinds of software people use so please let us know what you're
putting into application layers anyone creates like this. Our focus is
currently on making sure there is a rock solid core for people to build
from but if there are core applications missing we'd like to know about
it.

Also, if anyone establishes a layer with a specific focus, we're happy
to provide a git repository for it on git.yoctoproject.org where you
could maintain and share this code with other people with a similar
goal.

Cheers,

Richard
