Encouraging users to go and look at it just leads to annoyance, and putting this advice within the file itself seems particularly useless. 33271 1 richard.purdie 2013-05-24 10:31:10 +0000 Resolved with http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/?id=3b4b782e07ba1a0a4887216d7850bb75274570d2 37635 2 razvanx.ionescu 2013-10-04 15:09:43 +0000 Verified with poky:3b4b782e07ba1a0a4887216d7850bb75274570d2 and with dora:a02280f99f05b1c21de2a78de9222a2f62a0dabc (1.5 M5 RC6) also
