I agree, this is not particularly desirable. We've discussed this in the OE 
TSC and the agreement was that the toolchain bits currently in the meta-oe 
layer itself will be moved out to a separate layer.

That's not good :(

I agree, but there are others who think it should be switchable on a per-image 
basis. I don't think it's going to be long before that's impossible however.

That's not an unreasonable approach for now. However we do really want to tidy 
up meta-oe such that it doesn't do surprising things when you enable it. 
Hopefully we will get a chance to make progress on this over the next few 
months.

Cheers,
