IMHO this is a good idea in the spirit of keeping a clear boundary between OE and the distros derived from it. In an ideal world "rgrep ANGSTROM packages/" would be empty and any functionality implemented available to any distro via generic "stubs"/variables to dock into. +1 from me I guess, now is a good time though, to give a big round of applause and thank you to the Angstrom folks (koen in particular) who have brought a great many things to OE (I can think of multi-machine, support for lots of machines, ANGSTROM_MODE and ANGSTROM_EXTRA_INSTALL right now, but there are countless others)
