I think so. I like this better.

Tom, any objections?

Yocto Project Components
   BSPs
     bsps-runtime
     bsps-configuration
   Kernel
     linux-yocto
     kernel-configuration
     kernel-tooling

The other Kernel related path would include
Build System & Metadata
  Layers - OpenEmbedded-Core
    kernel

This would be for the kernel.bbclass and other recipes and classes.

I think we should just kill:
Build System & Metadata
  Layers - BSPs

and move all the BSP components under Yocto Project Components->BSPs

Finally there is:

Build System & Metadata
  Layers - meta-yocto
    machines

Which should just go away and be replaced witha BSPs->meta-yocto
component, if anything.

So, the final layout would be:

Yocto Project Components
   BSPs
     bsps-runtime
     bsps-configuration (these top too being "generic" buckets)
     bsps-meta-yocto
     bsps-meta-fsl-ppc
     bsps-meta-intel
     bsps-meta-ti
     bsps-tools
     bsps-xilinx (meta-xilinx?)

   Kernel
     linux-yocto
     kernel-configuration
     kernel-tooling

I believe this would make it much easier for us to manage Kernel related
issues across the project.
