FWIW, I'd think it would be sufficient the documentation ('make help'
and your runchecks.rst et al) gets updated to reflect the changes to
$CHECK. But up to whoever is the maintainer here.

Again, I can only offer my opinion of requiring Python v2.7 and using
argparse, but it doesn't carry much weight. Up to the kbuild
maintainers.
