I'm kind of torn on this. The original intent was to split up the busybox config into more granular fragments so that rather that having to provide a defconfig for it, you could just select the components you wanted and your custom config on top of that. If we do go down that route, it does imply a different kind of maintenance of the config fragments is needed as we move forward. In some ways I'd hope the fragment tools could help with that. Obviously any more split up hasn't happened as yet and I know that personally, given my workload I'm unlikely to find time soon :(. I'd be interested to see what others think?
