Are you sure of that?
The discussion that I have seen here is that BR2_EXTERNAL tree
is for the "proprietary" files, not just configuration files.
Note:
Here "proprietary" is used as a generalization for the
portion of the overall build tree that is not required to be
made public.
And:
This list has already had the discussion over how the .config
files should be considered.
I.E: Are they some of the "required public" files to meet the
requirements of Section 3 of the GPLv2 license.
