Normally, I would agree with you. However, the definition of FILESEXTRAPATHS in 
meta/conf/bitbake.conf contradicts that:

FILESEXTRAPATHS ?= "__default:"

The benefit of that (I guess) is that the added string looks the same whether 
_prepend or _append is used. At the same time it is a bit confusing since 
this is not the normal pattern for adding to a colon-separated variable.
