I just talked with another person confused by '“meta-*” trees', can we
change this to '“meta-*” trees inside poky repository', to make it
more clear that it doesn't apply e.g. to meta-oe?

I guess then poky users still might get confused as add-layer meta-oe
will add meta-oe into poky checkout (which isn't really inside poky
repository) but still confusing.

Or were you thinking about sending a change from '“meta-*” trees' to
'meta-yocto-bsp, meta-poky' and forgot to send that change?
