I agree, but you're giving a bad example:

linux/linux.mk:
ifeq ($(BR2_INET_IPV6),y)
        $(call KCONFIG_ENABLE_OPT,CONFIG_IPV6,$(@D)/.config)
else
        $(call KCONFIG_DISABLE_OPT,CONFIG_IPV6,$(@D)/.config)
endif

Which comes from:

    linux: adjust kernel config according to the Buildroot configuration
    
    We only adjust the configuration or ARM EABI and IPv6. The (more
    complicated) initramfs case is handled in a separate commit. The user
    is expected to take care of all other configuration details (like
    having Netfilter enabled to make iptables work, etc.)

I vote for WONTFIX.
