So there is a method to this madness, but it's less about your use case than
it is people making customisations that they are best advised to put somewhere

beforehand, because the nature of devtool finish is that you can't easily go
back and shift the changes elsewhere after you've run it. It would be trivial
to add an option that put the recipe back where it came from without you
having to be explicit though, so we could add that; potentially we could have
a configuration option to make that the default for you and others who more
commonly update the base metadata. Otherwise, I'm open to alternative
suggestions, but preferably I still want to avoid making it easy for users to
make a mistake and update the original metadata when they really should have
pointed it at their own layer.

That's fine with me. Unlike specifying version/revision on the command line (which at the moment need to be manually determined, and change every time), the layer destination is more or less static and can be hardcoded in a wrapper (or finger memory).
