I think we should discuss feature splitting of the config fragments. What is complicated with configs is finding the right kernel features for the userspace you are doing. At one point, I don't remember where or when, it was discussed adding a systemd config fragment, as it is using a slew of non-optional kernel config options. Then other distros using that could simply use that fragment to get it right. I'm pretty sure the systemd deps are a subset of the Fedora config for example. I would think similar fragments could be good for e.g. wireless networking, USB storage and such things where I for one found it really annoying having to spend time finding the right Kconfig to just get that rolling reasonably.
