The term "Container Layer" was put in the ref-manual by me to describe a "meta-*" layer that had other "meta-*" layers (see https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/2.7/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#term-container-layer and the term "Container Layer").  Maybe this was never a good term?  I don't know.  Nobody has said anything about that term for many releases. 

The problem Robert points out needs to be fixed in the BSP manual as "meta-intel" is not longer qualifying by my definition.  I can fix that. 

Is "Container Layer" ok as I have defined it?

in those terms above, yes its fine.

thanks for clarifying.

Thanks,

I thought "meta-virtualization" was a container layer?

IMHO, a BSP should only deal with getting a MACHINE booted.
