My experience is, that Angstrom is updated very quickly when new
releases of OpenEmbedded-layers are released. So I would not at all say
that Angstrom is outdated.

I've never used the public repositories as we are building only devices
with read-only rootfs and without package manager. So I can't give an
answer to this.

But one reason for me to decide for Angstrom was the online build system
which made it quite easy to get started.
