My good point to refuse them was that Simon's patches to move built-in
environment to a .env file are quite ready to be merged. I will be happy
if they can find the way to go in, as they can clean up the whole mess
we have. Checking only the i.MXes boards, most CONFIG_EXTRA_ENV_SETTINGS
are cut&paste from other boards, with some minor changes making them
inconsistent. The good exception are the sabre boards, because they use
the same common file.

I am taking a look if we can at least guarantee that all these boards
can  have the same built-in environment, because it seems clear that
this is what we want to reach.

I cannot refuse them, I cannot (yet) offer a good alternative. Send them.

True, but maintainers (Fabio, Alison) were informed in CC. The patchset
is quite a month old and I had to decide myself if there is a good
reason to reject them - I cannot find it.

Best regards,
