While maintaining various projects and kernels, I've often found myself thinking "Why is this selected / configured?". Sometimes I'll find information in a disjunct documentation system or in the head of somebody else. But most of the time that piece of information is just lost. Configurations get moved from various repositories, so that type of disconnected information also gets trashed. So here I am thinking that it would be nice if the configuration supported some form of simple annotation to variable mechanism. Ie, part of the actual config (only during read / write) and not just a whashed-away comment. I thought I should ask before I go about doing something already fixed or have other obvious solutions. Thanks.
