This is down to me, I've been keeping the layer index up-to-date for the 
layers on yoctoproject.org. Listing the ones that aren't there, with comments 
as to why not:

experimental/meta-darwin
    - ancient, unmaintained, no conf/layer.conf
experimental/meta-m2
    - ancient, unmaintained
experimental/meta-maemo
    - ancient, unmaintained, no conf/layer.conf
experimental/meta-trusted
    - not actively maintained
experimental/meta-x32       
    - ancient, we should probably just delete this
meta-dlna
    - replaced by collaboration with meta-guacamayo
meta-extras
    - not usable as a layer, most recipes unbuildable; I'm slowly whittling it
      down as bits of it reappear in OE layers until one day hopefully it'll
      become empty
meta-intel-contrib
    - contrib repo for meta-intel
meta-jarvis
    - joke layer
meta-meson
    - (probably could add)
meta-meson-bsp
    - (probably could add)
meta-minnow
    - (was waiting for hardware availability)
meta-yocto-kernel-extras
    - now submitted to the layer index
meta-zynq
    - status not entirely clear, but seems to have been superseded?

Cheers,
Paul
