I did mention you can bypass and do creative things with the checks. I don't
particularly want to spell it out as I don't want to encourage it or see it in
widespread use but someone else has also mentioned more directly how it can be
done.

By the way, in my previous job I've seen a certain well-known mobile silicon vendor get even more creative and declare a wildcard yocto release compatibility for all of their BSP layers, so they would never have to spell out specific yocto releases. That was literally the first thing I told them to remove, and no, I am not saying how they did it. One can bypass all rules if one is determined to.
