There are many things about Yocto that are strange at best.  IMHO Yocto 
is a necessary evil as part of the bring-up process but you want to get 
away from it as soon as possible :-)

If you've never worked with it, consider yourself lucky.  Think of it as 
a mini distro, but with a unique and complex way of describing the 
components of the distro and how they're patched/built, how qa works, etc.
