And you continue to dodge the real question of what needs to be done to
bitbake to make it easier to use than a Makefile - it's already less
characters to type, why aren't people using it.

When you start to address the real question, and stop just disparaging
other development practices for the sake of it, then we can have a
serious discussion about this.
