Host support for UCI is useful to have anyway, for other reasons… not something to avoid doing (not clear if you were against the principle of having UCI be on the host, or just trying to keep this particular patchset down to the bare minimum).

For instance, you could have platform-specific scripts that dynamically generate the initial configuration in the target image by doing UCI batch/add/commit sequences…
