.. note::
In some circumstances, a layer can be created by the community in order to
add a specific feature or support a new version of some package for an LTS
release. This is called a "mixin" layer. These are thin and specific
purpose layers which can be stacked with an LTS release to "mix" a specific
feature into that build. These are created on an as-needed basis and
maintained by the people who need them.
Policies on testing these layers depend on how widespread their usage is and
determined on a case-by-case basis. You can find some "mixin" layers in the
:yocto_git:`meta-lts-mixins </meta-lts-mixins>` repository. While the Yocto
Project provides hosting for those repositories, it does not provides
testing on them. Other "mixin" layers may be released elsewhere by the wider
community.
