Thanks I've clarified this some more and expanding completely on the section on SAT solver with some references for the eager beavers. I have also found some other use cases for SAT solver on Linux but since that is out of the scope of Kconfig I'll leave it outside of the patch but after the commit log so even more eager beavers can take action. > Otherwise, this seems quite sensible; thanks for documenting this bit of > tribal knowledge. Thanks, I'll respin finally.
