Slightly OT, but wouldn't it be more convenient, especially for external
callers like OE, to make True the default for getVar? This would also
make getVar somehow more symmetric to setVar.

A rough, inexact comparison between usage of True vs. False [1]:

bitbake: 214 times True, 25 times False
openembedded-core: 1143 times True, 49 times False
meta-openembedded: 93 times True, 1 time False

Regards,
Andreas

[1]: Method used to obtain the numbers:
git grep '\<getVar\>\s*([^)]\+,\s*\(True\|1\)\s*)' | wc -l
git grep '\<getVar\>\s*([^)]\+,\s*\(False\|0\)\s*)' | wc -l
