That is true.

My initial concern was seeing the BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_UIMAGE entry
when enabling BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660 (this last one depends on
BR2_TARGET_GRUB, BR2_TARGET_GRUB2 or BR2_TARGET_SYSLINUX_ISOLINUX).
Should we make them exclusive?
config BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_CPIO_UIMAGE
depends on !BR2_TARGET_ROOTFS_ISO9660
Or is that OK to display such options?
Thanks,
