Me like.
Much better than removing individual CONFIG symbols.
The diff is not scary:
84 files changed, 38 insertions(+), 129 deletions(-)
Maybe part of your release scripts - then you could evaluate
if the changes are worth it?
Or maybe add the script to barebox so anyone could do it, when
they want to get rid of a symbol.
that would be better than sed scripts.
Actually I like the latter idea the best, then we could better
distribute the task and let anyone do it.
I'm a bit occupied, so hope someone else jumps to do it.
