We've discussed this problem before - the trouble is we would have to change
the way the version preference calculation works, and I'm not sure we will be
able to do that without breaking assumptions that people currently rely upon
in the process. By all means file a bug, but I think coming up with a practical
solution is going to be tricky.

This is also undesirable for meta-oe IMHO - as a general principle, meta-oe
shouldn't be trying to both add additional recipes *and* provide newer/older
versions of recipes that are in OE-Core. Please, let's get the new versions
into OE-Core or if they're too risky/broken for some use cases for that, then
they belong in people's distro layers. (Practically I don't think there are
that many instances of new versions of OE-Core recipes that people want to use
that would be actually rejected by OE-Core).
Cheers,
Paul
