You can  append them via bbappends in a layer of its own. and control the access
to that layer. If the layer does not exist in bblayers then those repos dont bother fetching

if  there is a case where these additional stuff is must have then define

SRC_URI += “${ADDITIONAL_URIS}”
ADDITIONAL_URIS ? = “”

and let the layers fill this variables via bbappend and if it turns out to be empty in the end
you can raise parse errors,

basically look into RDK, there are several examples of such cases.
