Status and maturity of OE and ROS

Using Yocto is risk reduction to me. We already have plenty of tools that leverage yocto and openembedded. Going to Ubuntu involves reinventing the wheel from a package selection, base os, monitoring, and automation standpoint. Not to mention the package size, loss of package control, tight integration, and overinflated size of the base OS that we lose just by using it.

So, I probably cannot give you an unbiased advice on using OpenEmbedded or Ubuntu.

Could one not use OpenEmbedded and ROS with kind of meta-ubuntu (meta-debian)…
