In this patch, we just removed what we meant by Core Metadata, so now 
this can be quite confusing. Should we simply state OpenEmbedded-Core?

Also, how does one knows if the recipe can fit into OE-Core? (we do have 
some rules as to what's acceptable, must be a direct and default 
dependency of some other recipe in OE-Core, or with a demonstrable 
valuable benefit for OE-Core).
