List-Id: List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Hello, am I the only one who struggle with the Kconfig sometimes? can there be a way to make it more general/simpler, in some parts at least? e.g. the hardening effort? (just an example. *ABSOLUTELY NOT* blaming Kess or anyone else who is involved, that's not the point, they are doing great job, no doubt. it's just the most recent thing I saw was CONFIG_SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT). do people who really want to harden their kernels go all-in anyway (enable all of the options at once)? if so, can there be a single Kconfig option then? just curious. -ss
