<title>Kernel Tools</title>
<para>
Since most standard workflows involve moving forward with an existing tree by
continuing to add and alter the underlying baseline, the tools that manage
Yocto Project's kernel construction are largely hidden from the developer to
present a simplified view of the kernel for ease of use.

The fundamental properties of the tools that manage and construct the
kernel are:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>the ability to group patches into named, reusable features</para></listitem>
