Agreed, I was thinking of running Uwe's reduce script: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/7/13/134 Mitch> I have an alternative config system where every board inherits config Mitch> options from something else (ultimately the defaults in the config Mitch> system), then a board can turn on and off and set options which are Mitch> relevant to that board.

Would that involve significant changes to package/config making updates harder? -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard
