I agree, there are not technical reasons for not using it for other
layers, but once we ask contributors to create account on gerrit and
submit all patches through gerrit for *some* layers, then these people
will ask why oe-core and bitbake submissions are different.

I should also say that I really like gerrit work-flow and review, but if
people continue to send patches to e-mail and someone else will need to
add Change-Ids to them and consolidate them into review-chains, than
it's not as great as it could be if all related people "buy-it" and use
it exclusively.
