I agree that you're not trying to share the build output between different projects, as was the "project feature" that existed before 2009 did. That said, I still don't get the benefit of this PROJECT_DIR thing when you can simply set you Linux configuration file, Linux patches, U-Boot patches and so on to point to the correct location with the existing Buildroot. I don't see which problems it is solving, and to me, it only creates yet another option to configure Buildroot that will only confuse users. But again, as I said in my earlier e-mails: this is just _my_ voice, and I am not the only Buildroot developer or contributor, and I am not the maintainer. So my voice is just my voice, nothing more.
