So, this series has been sitting in patchwork for a while, and I am
still not convinced we want to support something like this, and
generally the feedback from other folks at the Buildroot Developers
Meeting is that we should probably not support it.

So, I'll mark the series as Rejected. If you believe you have more
arguments on why this is necessary, what are the use cases, then we can
of course always revisit that decision, since nothing is ever set in
stone.

Thanks!

Thomas
