Hi there,

Can someone tell me the reason for keeping broken recipes in the tree? 
Examples are the maemo task and image, the openmoko task doesn't compile 
because its missing stuff. Are these things going to eventually be 
fixed, or are they there for some other reason that I'm not 
understanding? I'm not trying to be insulting to anyone, but I think 
having broken things that don't even make it to the compile stage in the 
tree will confuse a lot of people.

Thanks,
Bill
