Hi Qi,

We discussed this on the patch review call yesterday.

I understand the reasons for the :append here and the interaction with
the extrausers bbclass. However, this still leaves us with concerns - we
don't want recipes chasing each other using :append as the ordering gets
very difficult to reason about.

The extrausers bbclass also uses :append, would the ordering be correct
if set_user_group and add_empty_root_password_note were both added using
+= instead? If so, let's patch extrausers.bbclass instead of using an
append here.

Best regards,
