I haven't heard of anything myself, local.conf, distro configs or
separate machines are how this is still currently being done.
We have quite a bit of flexibility in the way that kernel configs
can be stacked and used since the thread that you noticed, so there
are options in that area to pursue as well. There's been planning
around image creation and construction lately, that could also end
up helping a use case such as this down the road.
As to whether or not work is planned in the areas of images and
preferred providers, Richard would know.
Cheers,
Bruce
