The "Yocto is not a distribution, it is a tool to build distributions" adds a layer between Yocto upstream and users that results in users usually using old Yocto releases. How large is actually the fraction of users who are creating their own distributions based on Yocto releases taken directly from upstream? I would suspect most users are using 3rd party distributions provided by hardware vendors or companies like Wind River. This adds quite a delay between a change being released in a Yocto stable release, and users actually using it. When the distribution they are using is based on a thud release, new Yocto releases from that branch will only reach them when/if their distribution provider has updated and validated this change and made a new release of the distribution. Related, many of the Yocto user questions in various places tend to be for 2-3 year old Yocto releases. Often these sound like people just starting a new project with a distibution based on an old Yocto release. > - armin cu Adrian -- "Is there not promise of rain?"
