"Both of these options are not seen in the majority of recipes."?

[Robert P. J. Day]

  in section:

https://docs.yoctoproject.org/dev-manual/common-tasks.html#recipe-syntax

in Functions section:

"It is also possible to implement new functions that are called
between existing tasks as long as the new functions are not replacing
or complementing the default functions. You can implement functions in
Python instead of shell. Both of these options are not seen in the
majority of recipes."

  that last sentence seems ... backwards? how should one read it?

My guess:

"""
It is also possible to implement new functions that are called
between existing tasks as long as the new functions are not replacing
or complementing the default functions. This is not used in the majority
of recipes.

You can implement functions in Python instead of shell.
