I apparently haven't explained myself enough, because what you keep on 
harping on is not something I consider acceptable.

STD_CONFIG is pointless. It's pointless because the solution to what 
you call STD_CONFIG would be to just NOT USING the special Kconfig.xyz 
file at all.

So when I suggest special Kconfig files, they are meant to just generate 
the templates - ie they'd _generate_ what is currently the defconfig 
files. You wouldn't _have_ to use them at all.

If you _had_ to use them, you'd lose the flexibility of Kconfig and asking 
questions.
