Especially for 'core' recipes like busybox, automake and to a lesser 
extent, python.
The last time angstrom changed automake version multiple people had 
tested the the change and verified that the produced images worked as 
well as before the upgrade. That took some weeks to do. Now someone 
forced me (I didn't even look up who deleted 1.10) to used an untested 
version without asking or any heads up before the deletion.
Does this mean that I can add glibc 2.9 and delete all other versions?
