a while back, i dug into how FILESEXTRAPATHS worked with respect to
.bbappend files and i wrote it up, just updated it a bit here:

do i have it about right? it seemed that the underlying details
weren't really explained well in any of the current yocto docs, and i
wanted something i could point students at.
It looks OK to me although if you're going to point students at it I might
suggest moving the "don't look here!" stuff elsewhere ;)
Also as I believe I mentioned before, FILESEXTRAPATHS adds not just one
directory but an "entire list of directories" is it allows bbappend file path
behaviour to match that of the recipe itself.
I also think it would be good to point out the use of := in the FILESEXTRAPATHS
assignment and why it's important.
