Subject: Re: [PATCH 15/15] kconfig: fix randomising choice entries in
 presence of KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG

Michal, All,

On 2013-06-24 20:11 +0200, Yann E. MORIN spake thusly:

[--SNIP--]

OK, so this second attempt also broke standard workflows. Fixing it is
more involved than expected. Let's get rid of it before too many people
complain, and before it hits mainline.

Michal, can you strip this from your tree (since it's the HEAD of your
kconfig branch), or do you want me to submit a revert patch?

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
