Note: this means it will be the first code within the kernel tree
using the new edition.

I think it is fine, since in general no one should be copying code
from here to kernel code or vice versa.

(For context for others: code in one edition can have different
behavior than in another edition, and thus it is risky to mix them up
by mistake).

I am not sure how important this is for `scripts/` and/or `tools/`
(Kbuild may have a policy), but this should probably handle `O=`
builds.

In some cases, the source tree may even be read-only, i.e. we wouldn't
be able to create `target/` there.

Cheers,
