  is it my imagination, or did someone recently propose that there
will soon be no distinction between those two Kbuild directives since
it's just as easy to "unifdef" all of them, no matter what?  has that
patch already been submitted for the next major release?

Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt:

        --- 7.4 unifdef-y (deprecated)

        unifdef-y is deprecated. A direct replacement is header-y.


That should answer your Q.
