I have no idea what are the new interesting features that have been
added in the upstream scripts/kconfig/ (if any). However, keeping our
support/kconfig/ reasonably up-to-date is not only about new features,
it's also about staying compatible with reasonably recent
libraries/tools (more recent ncurses, Gtk, Qt, more recent GCC, like
this issue illustrates).

Best regards,

Thomas
