Except they should be reversed: the new commits can work with the
kconfig we currently have, so it looks like it should be OK to do the
required changes before doing the kconfig bump.

Toolchains, skeletons, init systems, jpeg library, linux extensions, and

Yes, so given that there are two problematic changes:
  - source statements in choices,
  - environment variable direct expansion,
I wonder if it makes sense for us to update our kconfig infra...
