For me, it's mostly a matter of consistency, i.e all packages and workflows work the same "way". I'd find it odd that specifically for the Linux kernel package, specifically for _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR, there is "special" mechanism in place. You're focused on the Linux kernel package because this is what you and your colleagues are primarily hacking one, but I would imagine that another very significant use case of _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR is the development of end-user applications, for which the Buildroot users have the same need of quickly iterating between making changes to the code, building and testing on the target. They use _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR for that, and would also benefit from out-of-tree build. Even though I admit the size of the Linux kernel code base makes out-of-tree build even more appealing. But I would find it strange that users experience a different behavior of Buildroot depending on the package for which they use _OVERRIDE_SRCDIR.
