I have no idea why you've always felt the need to maintain the clutter
pieces in your own layer rather than interacting with the ones in
OE-Core instead which I'd love to see better maintained. I'm not aware
of any barrier that has prevented that.

I can't help feeling this is an artificially created problem :/.
