The existing recipe names for the linux-yocto kernel builds
worked well when there was a single, or two versions of the
kernel available. But with the impending kernel updates and
retirement of older kernels, the re-use of the same recipes
for different kernel versions violates the principle of least
surprise.
To address this, the recipes are being renamed as follows:
linux-yocto_git.bb -> linux-yocto_2.6.37.bb
linux-yocto-stable_git.bb -> linux-yocto_2.6.34.bb
There continue to be versionless recipe names that feed into
versioned recipes at the appropriate points. They are:
linux-yocto-dev.bb (tracking the latest yocto dev kernel)
linux-yocto-korg_head.bb (tracking korg kernels)
There are no existing users of linux-yocto-stable in the master
branches to convert to the new naming, so these changes work
in isolation.

Poky
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged build system and development environment. It features support for building customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a reference manual which can be found at: http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
