I've created a bug to track this:
https://bugzilla.yoctoproject.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15724

Scott, I've assigned you to it, as you proposed to add this yesterday on the
tech meeting. Let me know if you need any help for adding documentation (it
should be part of bitbake/doc most likely).

Also let me know if I got it wrong yesterday and if I should re-assign this.

Thank you,
Antonin
