Have you actually done such a comparison?  I just compared them like this:
   poky/yocto:
      commit 320558f494c618f53e0c773db3ea0109476e8359

   openembedded-core:
      commit 50dc8bfbac42b9a9b52a2f7d0568740c41790c13
      Author: Richard Purdie <richard.purdie@linuxfoundation.org>
      Date:   Fri Mar 9 14:14:04 2012 +0800

These are the up-to-date master branches, as of 2012-03-11 12:40 GMT

Tons of changes, many minor/cosmetic, but lots of substantial changes in
recipes, etc.  Maybe the Poky policy is to match oe-core (follow?), but at least
today, it's pretty far out of sync (10 days is forever in net-time)
