* Explain that we test with a set of reference hardware rather than only
supporting hardware that we have (avoiding any implication that the
build system can't support other devices). These are in the
faq entry in the poky-ref-manual for the question of how we can
claim Poky / OpenEmbedded-Core is stable.
* Adjust the language so that it is OE-Core friendly, with a link to
the Development Manual for the definition of OE-Core.

The information surrounding the central download directory was
pretty scant. Jim Abernathy pointed this out in an email sent to
me. As a start, I have added quite a bit more information to
the glossary description for DL_DIR. Part of that added information
is a pointer to the FAQ entry that describes exactly how the
build system gets source files. Then, in the YP Development Manual
in the section that introduces the build process, I added several
references to various variables that are set in the local.conf
file prior to kicking off the build.

Per Paul Eggleton he suggested that the wording we had about YP focusing
on the GNOME Mobile environment was misleading now. It was in there in the
original version of the FAQ but with time has become outdated. I simply
removed the "GNOME" part and left the part that mentions about YP
being a stable
environment and well-suited for the embedded mobile environment.
