I'm not entirely against removing the list of out packages from our
manual.
Yet, for some users of br2-external trees, they may still want to have
the list of their packages in their manuals, build with the asciidoc
infrastructure.
It is entirely imaginable that such users of br2-external have packages
annotated with some documentation for those packages, and want to
include that doc in their manual, so need to generate that list from
Kconfig.
Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
