+kconfig-frontends project aims at centralising the effort of keeping an
+up-to-date, out of the Linux source tree, packaging of the kconfig
+infrastructure, ready for use by third party projects.
+
+The configuration language used by the Linux kernel, known as kconfig,
+has gained some traction in the community, due to its advantages:
+ * simple syntax and grammar
+ * limited, yet adequate, option types: boolean and tristates, integers and
+ strings
+ * simple, yet efficient, organisation of options: indentation, sub-menus,
+ radio-like choices
+ * direct and reverse dependencies
