Yes. I put on my slightly-less-than-benevolent dictator hat today, and
explained my reasoning. I do feel bad that you're rather unhappy with
the overall situation, but no, I believe this is the right answer.

Now, there's some follow up further re-syncing with the kernel that
could be done (scripts/Makefile.lib/extrawarn can be further re-matched
up with the kernel now, but that would have made a larger delta than
"just migrate to providing the tool").
