This one is annoying me.

I don't care if it updates .config. But it does so *noisily*, so now
my build scripts en dup having extra noise coming out from them in the
form of another

  scripts/kconfig/conf  --syncconfig Kconfig
  #
  # configuration written to .config
  #

which is just distracting me and doesn't seem to add any value at all.

Ok, so it happens because I for legacy reasons have a "made dep" that
isn't useful any more (but my fingers have that as the "let's do a
kernel build" now macro), but it does seem to be entirely pointless.
Why make that big noise about something that doesn't even *do*
anything?
