I'm not sure I understand that, equally I'm tired so I'll assume I'm
just missing something.

I will say that there is no intention to make OE-Core hard to use or
not robust, its only as good a the people contributing make it. In this
case I'm not sure I understand/see the problem.

If we should be using ?= instead of ??= then I'm open to an explanation
why and patches to improve things.

Unfortunately we do have quite some legacy and ??= vs ?= has been
troublesome in the many different contexts we have (recipe, class,
conf, inc and so on).

Cheers,

Richard
