My only comment is I remember when Eric Raymond submitted a smart
config thing (before Kconfig, which copied Eric's best ideas).

The main objection to Eric's patch was that it was written in Python,
causing kernel builds to depend Python.

When did this policy change, so that it's now acceptable to depend on
Perl, which is roughly equivalent as a tool dependency?
