We agreed that the transition may take a couple of years and that we should try to minimize confusion in the meantime. Until we've completed the transition, it would be preferable if, from a user (someone who builds OP-TEE) point of view, it doesn't matter whether a particular config variable is managed by Kconfig or by Makefiles. At least when building using the build git. The mindset should be to avoid causing any problems for the users. Documentation is helpful, but changing well-established behavior will cause problems. If the above isn't possible, then my view is that we must plan which config variables we transition. Then, after each release, we select a new group of config variables to be merged in a single PR. Or something like that, so there's some logic behind how different config variables behave. This will make the transition longer and more difficult, but that's the price of making incompatible changes. Cheers, Jens
