Not really too concerned either way here.

Some of our boards have some really long CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS and
it's nice to try to keep that shorter by moving stuff into
CONFIG_NFSBOOTCOMMAND, CONFIG_RAMBOOTCOMMAD,
CONFIG_SILENT_CONSOLE_AT_BOOT, etc. but beyond that we can just add to
our CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS as well.
