I'm wondering, what do you think about Vegard's 'warn about complex selects' feature for kconfig which he submitted some time ago: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/5/4/13 That's a really sore kconfig spot we have. It's not a bug, but it sure bites people again and again, and it would be nice to have some built-in mechanism that gently nudges us away from complex selects. (many of which are inadvertent or become complex after the fact) Ingo
