Shame on you, phytec. Shame on you. What you do in your layers perhaps
doesn't matter so much, but you also give everyone a bad example to
follow.

That commit really is not in the spirit of things and I'm not happy
people are doing that. I'd not be surprised if that stopped working
soon.

We had a huge problem with unmaintained layers where it was unclear
which releases a master branch worked or had been tested with. An
actively maintained layer should have no problem with updating this a
couple of times a year. If that is an issue, it isn't actively
maintained and it makes that clear.

Cheers,
