* this is often confused to apply for e.g. meta-oe as well
where it doesn't apply as meta-oe has own ML mentioned
in README.

This is in accordance with the gatesgarth Release Notes:
> In the ``Upstream-Status`` header convention for patches,
> ``Accepted`` has | been replaced with ``Backport`` as these almost
> always mean the same thing i.e. the patch is already upstream and
> may need to be removed in a future recipe upgrade. If you are adding
> these headers to your own patches then use Backport to indicate that
> the patch has been sent upstream.

It was never really clear what all those reasons really meant, and every
patch submitted upstream liftens the maintenance on the Yocto side.
So remove the current list, and replace it with two reasons in which an
upstream submission likely won't benefit the upstream project.

any other section in this document so that sphinx doesn't generate a
warning about duplicate labels).

Whilst often referred to as packages by people we should use the more
