Re: Kconfig Dependencies in Linux

[Sarah Nadi <snadi@uwaterloo.ca>]

Hi Grant,

Thanks for your feedback. I was actually specifically targetting 
developers who have committed to the Kconfig files before as far as I 
could tell from the  kernel's git repository rather than randomly 
picking people listed in MAINTAINERS. I do have questions about certain 
dependencies, but I also want to get the general intuition behind when a 
Kconfig dependency is enforced, and if there is external/domain 
knowledge that comes into play. This is why I was interested in talking 
to developers.

In all cases, I do appreciate the advice!

Sarah
