No problem updating the docs to this on my side!

I quickly checked, this is the current diff between the two templates:
https://0x0.st/Kffy.diff

Other than the obvious consequences shown in the diff, I could also identify
that PACKAGE_CLASSES becomes IPK as local.conf takes precedence over poky.conf.
Maybe oecore's template should not set this variable (IPK would be taken from
defaultsetup.conf).

Oecore's conf-summary.txt would also be sort of wrong even though that's ok I
guess.

Maybe there's more consequences, I haven't checked thoroughly/tried to build.
