I just updated to master:6ed4012fefee1294d98f2ea76163d44acf3d045
The new "knotty2" interface is very impressive and a welcome improvement
from the old CLI :-)

One thing I noticed though - during much of the first phase(*) of a
new build (where it's building the early native packages), I only
get one task running at a time even though I've set BB_NUMBER_THREADS ?= "4"
What needs to be so serialized?

Once it gets past this phase and into building the main recipes,
it goes back to running more than one task at a time.

(*) Do these various build phases have names?  Is this documented?

Thanks
