of the manual. Many times the user is oblivious of this fact
and is trying to use a version of the docs that don't come close
to matching the version of the YP.

Reality dictates that the YP does not treat layer naming consistently.
Layers are talked about as the "meta-whatever" layer and never the
"whatever" layer. However, the tooling sometimes appends or uses
just the "whatever" part of the layer name. A good example is the
meta-yocto-bsp configuration file. All the variables in there use
just the root name of a layer's name. In the manuals, I had been
distinguishing the layer name as just the "whatever" part sans
"meta-". I talked about the convention of using "meta-" in front
of layer names, etc. Well, this is confusing in light of how everyone
says a layer's name is "meta-whatever". So, I fixed all this up.

Using it means you are setting up specific URIs for specific
