| | | | | | | | | | | | The sections that list the features you can provide with the MACHINE_FEATURES and DISTR_FEATURES variables implied that the set was finite. It is not.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Feedback from Paul Eggleton suggested to not use the linked term "Source Directory" in the last paragraph of this section. Reasoning being that it is mis-leading in this case. People reading this will be thinking more along the lines of traditional source code rather than our establishe "Source Directory" term, which in the doc set refers to either the unpacked poky tarball or the cloned poky Git repository.
