layer priorities?
Just a few short questions about the layer priorities. May be there is an faq answering them, but i could not find it.
What is the policy assigning a priority to a layer?
Do multiple layers with the same priority are allowed? How is this handled?
Would it make sense to add an *Layer prio* column to <http://www.openembedded.org/wiki/LayerIndex>?

We had a bit of discussion around this a few months ago. See the longish thread at:
http://lists.linuxtogo.org/pipermail/openembedded-core/2011-August/007387.html
My view remains that the right place to be setting the priority is in bblayers.conf rather than in the layer itself, but there didn't seem to be any clear consensus last time it was discussed.
Multiple layers with the same priority will have undefined results if they overlap. You probably don't want to allow that situation to occur.
