I wonder if adding a ktype is too heavy handed for what we are doing
here.  After all, we are just shuffling config settings and cfg files,
where historically a ktype reflected a fundamental different base branch
being used at ground zero (i.e. standard/base vs preempt-rt/base).
Can this be done as a feature and not a ktype?

I'd rather not get into name bike shedding, but at the same time
"extended" doesn't really convey anything concrete.  Looking at what we
are trying to compartmentalize here, I wonder if "developer" is a better
fit ; these are all things I'd expect a developer to employ when doing
their coding and testing, then they get disabled at final deployment.
