there's no point adding all that redundant content when it can all be
done automatically.
I like it.  Are there any kconfig patches to support this plan?

Speaking specifically to adding 'EXPERIMENTAL', I distinctly remember at 
some point in the past the config system was smart enough to print " 
(EXPERIMENTAL)" if that entry depended on CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL.

We should head in that direction.

I strongly NAK the original patch from Gabriel C in this thread -- it 
just adds too much redundant info.  Better to add it -once-, somewhere 
inside Kconfig system.

Yes, that's what Robert & I are referring to as well (AFAIK).
