My impression was [perhaps erroneously] that for an object to be
in OE-core, it had to be _needed_ by some other object in OE-core.
Many recipes have been migrated out when there was no longer a
use for them, so why not .bbclass files as well?  Most other
layers that need .bbclass files that aren't in OE-core just have
their own classes...
