I agree with the concept of the idea and long term solution however I also
think it needs to be well documented otherwise it is going to be a problem,
instead of a solution.

When I tried to use the kernel configuration fragment from Yocto I couldn't
figure it out by myself and it seems very undocumented thus its learn curve
is not as good as I'd hope for...
