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!

Yes, warrior is now officially supported even though we announced it as part of of the upcoming [2.2 release](https://mender.io/blog/mender-2-2-beta-yocto-warrior-and-raspberry-pi-4). 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.
