Since the kernel will be coming from an Intel Source, it will be fully tested on more hardware that the current linux-yocto kernel gets tested against. The update rate maybe about the same, with security updates as needed for more severe issues As other vendors maintain kernels for their meta-vendor specific layer, Intel has chosen to maintain an Intel kernel based on the current LTS version (4.9) plus upstreamed patches. All content will be backports from internally maintained tracking trees being regularly updated. meta-intel will likely continue to contain the linux-yocto- for a non-LTS kernel. Hope that clarifies this.
