There are two usual cases involving bb.data.expand:
- Calling it with a string literal -- "bb.data.expand('${FOO}/${BAZ}/bleh', d)".
- Calling it on getVar results (legacy) -- "bb.data.expand(bb.data.getVar('FOO', d), d)"
Nothing in any of the usual layers uses it in any other way, and I'm
having trouble coming up with any real use cases beyond this. The first
of the above cases is already tracked, via the expandWithRefs called
on the python code string. The second didn't emit a warning anyway,
since the getVar was already handled.
Given this, I see no reason for us to maintain explicit expansion
tracking. Further, we weren't using its results anyway (the var_expands
member).

Poky
====
Poky is an integration of various components to form a complete prepackaged
build system and development environment. It features support for building
customised embedded device style images. There are reference demo images
featuring a X11/Matchbox/GTK themed UI called Sato. The system supports
cross-architecture application development using QEMU emulation and a
standalone toolchain and SDK with IDE integration.
Additional information on the specifics of hardware that Poky supports
is available in README.hardware. Further hardware support can easily be added
in the form of layers which extend the systems capabilities in a modular way.
As an integration layer Poky consists of several upstream projects such as
BitBake, OpenEmbedded-Core, Yocto documentation and various sources of information
e.g. for the hardware support. Poky is in turn a component of the Yocto Project.
The Yocto Project has extensive documentation about the system including a
reference manual which can be found at:
http://yoctoproject.org/community/documentation
