I assume you mean `CONFIG_RUST=y`, i.e. to remove
`CONFIG_RUST_IS_AVAILABLE` and simply request to build with Rust.

And, yeah, it would be simpler and it would prevent the issue of
Kconfig deciding to automatically disable it due to unmet
dependencies. We were asked to do it this way back then, but perhaps
the sentiment has changed now.

What you can do meanwhile is e.g. explicitly check that `CONFIG_RUST`
is `y` after the kernel configuration is saved.

Cheers,
