This should not be an issue. My change has the old recipe renamed with the API version so the old version becomes referenced by 'vte-0.0' (per the commit log the 0.0 is consistent with the API versioning upstream). So recipes which require the old version, like xfce4-terminal, have to have their DEPENDS adjusted accordingly. There should be no surprises. I will have a closer look today to ensure nothing in oe-core is requiring the old version and if not I will prepare a patch for meta-oe since that seems to be the general agreement for a home for this. I need to do some further checks and runtime tests but I will get this out shortly. In the meantime anyone else running in to the build failure can exploit the RFC patch.
