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.
