I wrote both of these with input from the community recently, so they should be fairly reliable and up-to-date - was there something missing that you noticed?

There are several different UIs available. OE-core provides Sato (mainly for testing); the meta-openembedded repository contains several layers that provide some more (GNOME, XFCE, etc.) > 3.: The commercial layer is nowhere found, what are the plans for this > layer, or was this just an idea? As Denys mentioned this sort of thing is (or is expected to be) provided by multiple OSVs. > 4.: In which layer would distributions fit in the graphic? I would imagine they would take the place of the commercial layer - after all, both would be providing the same sorts of "policy" type metadata. > 5.: Is something important missing / wrong in my graphic (other than > the distro stuff)? It looks good, but I'm not sure that you'd expect to be mixing all of these layers together in one configuration; e.g. the commercial layer / distro layers.
