There is an ongoing effort to harmonize and standardize the use of art including so-called "extended art" in Kodi.  The wiki Artwork (wiki) is being used as the standard.  It's still evolving and there are a couple PRs against Kodi master needed for Kodi to pick up local and in some cases scraped art during scans, without need of addons.  At this point it appears that an option might exist to either pull extrafanart/extrathumb into the library using standardized names like fanart1 fanart2, or retain the current system of just using subfolders within media folders that don't get added to the library, instead are directly pulled by skins in multiimage controls.

Update:  keep in mind many of these changes will break Krypton skins.
