For who?  I'm pretty sure I can use "make menuconfig" _far_ more reliably than I can edit a diffconfig file to use a "buildme" script.  If I don't know anything, and _need_ to build a custom image that can't be built with image builder, or post install config, then menuconfig at least makes sure that dependencies get pulled in properly.  Adding line items to file that you then "defoncfig" and hope you got perfectt seems fraught with danger, and for what? To avoid showing someone how to use menuconfig?  Which they'll need to use anyway?  Because I don't believe for a _second_ that somehow you're going to have "buildme" magic that automatically solves all the configs someone needs.  

Sincerely,
Karl Palsson
