As upstream enables CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V option since
2018.2 by defaullt ([1]) honor this in buildroot and do
the same (and remove the leagcy experimental comment accordingly).

Upstream seems to still consider this to be experimental [0].

What we talked about earlier [1], was to always enable it, not to change
the default.

Now, people that have a defconfig file with BATMAN-V disabled (i.e.
there would be nothing in the defconfig as 'is not set' is the default),
will have it enabled now.

So, if upstream recommends to not disable it (do you have a ref?), then
we should just drop our option, and to always enable it.

Thoughts?

What would the advantage be for removing the ability to disable the
CONFIG_BATMAN_ADV_BATMAN_V option from the Buildroot config?

I guess if someone doesn't need it it could still be good to remove to
simplify things.

Best,
Christian

Would count this as a oversight/leftover...and after 3 years of
default to enabled would not count it as experimental...

I believe the count of people who have BATMAN-V disabled is zero (or they
are to shy to report the compile failure which should occur since the
introduction of BATMAN-V as the ifdef pattern did not change since 2016,
see [2])...

Same rationale as Christian in the follow-up mail...

  I finally applied to master with just a bit extension of the commit message to 
indicate that upstream's label of it being experimental is no longer really true.

  Arnout
