As hard as it is. I agree that it should be backed out and put in a branch and 
tested on non EABI systems. We find new regressions every day.

The current list of today are:
          - insane.bbclass needs 'linux' and 'linux-gnu'. Linux for native 
            packages and the other for our one

          - bitbake meta-toolchain does not work due task-sdk-base, I think
            it is due the change but I don't know.
