I believe what Brad is proposing actually fixes your issue.  The meta
layers essentially go away, and your examples become:

meta-phosphor/recipes-power/bar/bar.bb
meta-phosphor/recipes-x86-intel/bar/bar.bb

At which point you immediately would get a warning that you have
duplicated recipe names, and we as a community can figure out how best
to disambiguate the two recipes.
