rationale for including checkouts in both layers and yocto git repos?

rationale for including checkouts in both layers and yocto git repos?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  i just noticed that, across the two major repos for yocto:

http://layers.openembedded.org/layerindex/branch/master/layers/
http://git.yoctoproject.org/

there's a wee bit of duplication in that the second repo above
duplicates a lot of the meta- layers found in the first location. is
that deliberate? or can things be more properly placed in a single
location?

The former - the layer index - is a curated index of every known
layer.  It doesn't contain any layers, and is merely a (searchable,
human-readable, tagged) index.

The later is the list of all git repositories on the official Yocto
Project git server.  It contains layers, kernel forks, applications
and more.

There is no duplication here.
