I understand all that, but why do you think your usecase should be
in the kernel? I still fail to see its relevance for the majority of
people.

AFAICT, this is only if you want to experiment with different options
but you're better off replicating your .config with the couple options
instead of adding a save button.

IOW, this would only make a distant sense if you were playing with all
kconfig options but why would you want to do that?

Thanks.
