I don't think you read the whole thread.
Earlier on, I explained exactly what I wanted: just add some "select" statements to pickt he things you need per the particular target configuration. You seem to have missed that part.
In other words, you _can_ encode the information that is in the xyz_defconfig files by doing it in Kconfig.xyz files instead. But you do it in a human-readable manner. And the hierarchical thing is absolutely required for that - otherwise you'd end up with just another form of the current xyz_defconfig.
See?
In other words, you should be able to basically use "make allnoconfig" together with a Kconfig.xyz file input to select _exactly_ the pieces you need, and nothing else.
