Yes but OE is not the best reference here. There we can do whatever is need.

One thing I do miss is consistency. I've been trying to keep all
Freescale boards I work with in sync, and it does make my life easier
so I don't need to read the environment to understand how to
accomplish what I need.

Simon's proposal for text version of default environment is a move to
the right  direction, it seems, as will easy reuse of environment
among boards.

I think, specially for development kits, the  default environment must
be as flexible and generic as possible. Part of product development
will be trimm it to fulfil product needs. I agree with Tom that we
need to get a better and more general used default environment
setting.
