Aha. That's what needs to be in the commit message!

I'd prefer the feature check in the recipes themselves (and clearly
I missed some when doing the work).

Distro / feature requirements just aren't visible enough when they
are in a bbclass versus the recipe (from my point of view).

In fact, I don't even think the recipes make sense in a world build
at all, and I should probably just bulk exclude them.

Thoughts ?
