[yocto] is it not a *requirement* that layers start with "meta-"?

as an admittedly simple example, i ran across this in oe-core's
scripts/contrib/documentation-audit.sh:
for pkg in `bitbake -s | awk '{ print \$1 }'`; do
... snip ...
if [[ "$pkg" =~ ^meta- || "$pkg" =~ ^packagegroup- || "$pkg" =~ -image ]]; then
# Skip meta, task and image recipes
continue
fi
checking that the package name starts with "meta-" seems to
pretty clearly suggest that it will be treated differently than if it
doesn't. i'm sure no one is terribly worried about that particular
script, but it does seem to show an example of this.
