Martin beat me since I was about to make the same comment. Adding a layer with contents that in the best case duplicates what is already in another layer (and in the worst case is broken) only creates confusion. Replacing meta-python with meta-python2 sounds like a weird usecase, and LAYERDEPENDS from layers like meta-multimedia or meta-networking usually do not even make it an option to not include meta-python. In practice the most common case where meta-python2 would be included in a zeus or earlier distribution would be when someone includes both the meta-python and meta-python2 layers. cu Adrian
