I updated to 0.7 - I have some questions:

- even running with checked-in boards and lab, I get errors due to
missing kconfig module:

tbot -b boards/mira.py -l labs/pollux.py interactive_uboot
tbot starting ...
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/stefano/.local/bin/tbot", line 12, in <module>
    sys.exit(main())

    from tbot.tc import uboot, git, kconfig
ImportError: cannot import name 'kconfig'


- checking the code, it looks to me that boards and labs are much more
correlated together instead to be orthogonal. In fact, I forked "mira"
to let it running in my lab.

class Mira(denx.Board):
     name = "phymira"
     lab_name = "pollux"

Why the board must have the name of the lab ? I have expected that it is
only set into lab, that is lab_name = lh.lab_name (if we want to have it).

Regards,
Stefano
