Thanks for the notification. Its great that those recipes are shipped
now on the oe-core layer.

But I don't want to remove those recipes from meta-webkit, even if they
are shipped now there.

That recipes are an essential part of meta-webkit, so I want to be able
to raise the version or change them without depending on oe-core.
For example: sometimes we need to use older versions of yocto, but we
still want to use the last stable version of wpe/libwpe/wpebackend-fdo.
So I find pretty useful to have all the core WPE related recipes on the
meta-webkit layer and not depend on whatever oe-core ships.

There should be no conflict between the recipes as long as the name used
for them its the same, bitbake should simply pick the last version by
default.

Regards.
