That is not really what is happening. KERNEL is gone (going) and MINIMAL is coming. There are few places where it looks like a rename but that's a bit of an over-simplificifation.

Oh, well, to make it easier for the embedded team, we can wait with the changes to KERNEL TO MINIMAL in the existing variables, but the new config variables will be called JVM_VARIANT_MINIMAL etc.

that will eventually arrive, as you say. I see no harm in these changes being pushed now. It will not affect anyone since the actual makefile api (targets) are still called kernel. Which means we will have a bunch of non-working targets - right? No, the old makefiles would behave just as bad as before.
