The ABI version definition should go along with the DISTRO variable since it impact the TMPDIR definition. Otherwise, if a user used to work with pure OE-Core, and then he/she added meta-yocto layer, it will report ABI version incompatibility issue. This is because ABI is changed to "8" by adding meta-yocto layer, however the DISTRO variable is not defined and TMPDIR is still "tmp-eglibc". Defining the OELAYOUT_ABI variable in poky.conf could fix this issue.

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
OpenEmbedded-Core is a layer containing the core metadata for current versions of OpenEmbedded. It is distro-less (can build a functional image with DISTRO = "") and contains only emulated machine support.
