I've always insisted/argued and designed in that externalsrc shouldn't touch the
kernel configuration at all.

You are building a tree that is completely managed outside of the build system,
and getting the kernel configuration in place is part of that management.

So I'm not convinced it is a problem that needs to be solved.

Cheers,
