I thougt about that just as i send the e-mail, to near to "mod"ular.
What i meant was "mod"ify.

And AFAICS there currently is no "modconfig", only an "allmodconfig"

With no letters dropped it would be less ambiguous.
make modifyconfig=kvm

Real Programmers consider "what you see is what you get" to be just as
