Strange dependency
I have a distribution which normally includes x11. I just ran a build with
DISTRO_FEATURES_remove = "x11 wayland"
Why on earth did this require qemu-native to be rebuilt? One would think that qemu-native would be independent of the DISTRO_FEATURES??

Looking at meta/recipes-devtools/qemu/qemu.inc it is explicitly looking at DISTRO_FEATURES for the native class. That seems wrong to me as well, but I would be surprised if it were the only place we were referring to DISTRO_FEATURES in the native context (especially implicitly - consider the defaults for PACKAGECONFIG in various recipes where we initialise it based on DISTRO_FEATURES and don't provide a special default for native). I guess it's something that someone will need to go through and clean up at some point.
Cheers,
Paul

Ah, that was a bit of cleanup I failed to do. qemu.inc has a PACKAGECONFIG_class-native to hardcode the options and not respect distro features, but there were some dependencies that are picked based on DISTRO_FEATURES. This was a workaround for the previous odd linking, so can be removed now.
