The linked blog post defines Yocto support as extended to Thud, but not yet Warrior, 2.7.1.
However, meta-mender under warrior is inclusive of the 2.1.1 bb file, and indeed, that is the default build target, even without including a PREFERRED directive for it; this implies 2.1(1) now supports YP warrior.

Is this officially the case?

Thanx!
SLR-

this implies 2.1(1) now supports YP warrior.

Yes, warrior is now officially supported even though we announced it as part of of the upcoming 2.2 release. But the Yocto branch releases are independent and usually cover several Mender releases.

E.g warrior branch supports 1.7.x, 2.1.x and the upcoming 2.2.
