I expect this is not actually that trivial. I think the only way to do
this is properly is for the layer priorities to be respected by all
files in the layer, not just the bb files. No idea how involved that
change would be, or what the side effects would be.

If properly means 'out of the box', then no; the two layers can be made
to work together, but it's fairly clear that nobody comprehensively
tests that combination at the moment.

I am all for QA, but in this instance your QA procedure breaks things
for the end user. Could you not just call it something else, e.g.,
yocto-qa-arm-reference.conf?
