It is, but was specifically added so kernels that want to do overrides like
RHEL could add their own custom configs/debug and configs/generic.

I am open to name changes but the goal was to use Fedora configs as a base
and then allow the ability to override through other directories.

So if you have a proposal to allow that, I am open to it. :-)
