Re: "meta-intel" layer bad example of a "container layer"

Robert,

I have updated the BSP Guide and removed all but a single instance of "container layer".  You can see what I have left at the bottom of this section - https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.8/bsp-guide/bsp-guide.html#bsp-layers.  Also, the YP Reference Manual "Terms" section has been updated with similar text - https://yoctoproject.org/docs/2.8/ref-manual/ref-manual.html#ref-terms.

Thanks,
Scott

Right, meta-intel isn't a container layer.  It just has two MACHINES.
