Its better to define different distros profiles sometimes they are not
beneficial to have knobs on cmdline e.g. see

https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/blob/master/conf/site.conf#L14-L15
and
https://github.com/YoeDistro/yoe-distro/blob/master/sources/meta-yoe/conf/distro/yoe.conf

Since there could be multiple factors deciding the policy.
