Alex is very much correct, you should not see corruption. But I think more
detail is in order.

If your distro repository is a "garden variety" set of image recipes and
recipe overrides that pull upstream source bundles, then your SSTATE cache
should age nicely from release to release.

However, if your source code and associated application files ride along in
the same repository as your recipes, or you add your own bbclass
functionality, you may want to reconsider keeping SSTATE cache around for too
long. There are still some issues to be worked out to make the local file
fetcher as reliable as the other fetchers
Did we get that solved on master or not? I can't remember if there were
remaining issues or not?

Cheers,

Richard
