Do you have an example?
Because what you describe sounds like how we want it to work, but I'm
not sure if I'm misunderstanding the scenario you describe.
I was considering the case mentioned in the commit description.
I.e. we do --kunitconfig_add=CONFIG_KUNIT=n to the default kunitconfig.
That gives us complaints about these
CONFIG_KUNIT_EXAMPLE_TEST=y, CONFIG_KUNIT_TEST=y,
CONFIG_KUNIT_ALL_TESTS=y
options no longer being in the generated .config.
And I think that's exactly how it _should_ work, as this flag is a
low-level tool for tweaking individual options.
IMO, anything complicated should be done by editing the
kunitconfig/qemu_config files, in which case it's a lot less
cumbersome to disable multiple options by just deleting them.
