Hi,
every other comment is ok I'll rebase and resubmit once I find some time
again.
But for this (tac) the reason is simple - to keep behaviour.
Currently the last one wins.
So if you have
CONFIG_A=n
CONFIG_A=y

Essentially you have
CONFIG_A=y

By the tac and keeping the first occurrence we maintain behavior.
It is interestingly hard to "keep the last occurrence" without such tricks,
but I'm open to suggestions.

That would fail for the reasons outlined above.

Although less important, file comments also tripled in final .config.
