[yocto] what's the rationale for kern-tools-native bbappend in poky-extras?

[Robert P. J. Day]

 i just noticed, in the poky-extras layer,
kern-tools-native_git.bbappend, which describes itself as for "local
kern-tools work".

  is there a use case for this?  oe-core already supplies
kern-tools-native, and that bbappend appears to simply let the
developer work with the head of kern-tools rather than a fixed SRCREV.

  so is it just providing the ability to work with the dev source for
developers who want the bleeding edge?
