if a layer doesn't provide any conf/ or classes/ files, any need for BBPATH?

i just noticed that the meta-oe/meta-filesystems layer provides no
(additional) conf/ files or classes/ files. so in a case like that, is there any need to add that layer info to BBPATH in its layer.conf file?

conversely, if a layer contains no .bb or .bbappend files, does it
need to be included in BBFILES?

It doesn't need to, no. Convention is to leave it around to make it easy to add them later since it doesn't hurt much either.
