To keep in pace with the upgrades in upstream yocto version, RDK plans to use manifest branches for the next planned yocto version. For example, currently RDK uses yocto 1.6 (daisy). The next targeted yocto version is yocto 2.2 (morty). During the migration phase, a specific manifest branch will be created & maintained for morty. Once development is completed on the morty branch and the branch is judged to be stable, master will be pointed to morty and a new branch will be created for the next targeted yocto version upgrade.

In parallel, RDK will maintain another manifest branch, master-next. master-next will always point to latest upstream yocto master. This branch will be used to tracking the latest updates in Yocto.
