SIC is too strong a term here. SIC means apps don't compile anymore.

This is rather a behavior-incompatible change (and another one to revert).
So, to avoid the packagers killing me for updating 5.7 two days *after* the 
supposed public release day (*), I would rather make a 5.7.1 kconfig release 
with this commit in.
In practice users will only get a few days (at most) with 5.7.0 and broken 
kconf_update behaviour - a runtime bug, it happens.

(*) I forgot to make the tarballs public so I was about to do so right now, 
but they surely made their packages public already.
