The general direction we are taking (from my point of view) is to try to *reduce* the number of make targets and the number of ways to use Buildroot, in order to make it easier/simpler to understand for users. So just like we removed options whose sole purpose was to rename final target images, I think we should not add new make targets that should instead simply be a shell invocation "make clean && make foobar_defconfig && make". In addition to this, I am not sure your implementation correctly passes down the O= argument for out-of-tree builds.
