Generally, we try to keep users' configs working.

In the past, it was quite painful / pitfall-y to do so, so to make it
easier, the `transitional` keyword was added recently -- a couple
references:

Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.rst

f9afce4f32e9 ("kconfig: Add transitional symbol attribute for
migration support")

I hope that helps!

Cheers,
Miguel
