Yes, I think that's as it should be - the general-purpose documentation
shouldn't mention specific layers.  meta-intel has its own layering
requirements as mentioned in the READMEs for those BSPs.  Also I think
the text mentions it's an example, but I guess I'm a bit confused since
I'm finding that in section 5.1. Example Filesystem Layout here:

http://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/poky-ref-manual/poky-ref-manual.html

Am I looking at the wrong thing?

In either case, possibly a note that this is just an example and that a
given layer may have its own requirements?
