But this doesn't work with existing .config files or if you change your
preselection after saving. For this, forcing some core packages are
better in my eyes.

Config.in.collections must be fixed therefor (by me).

100% agreement. svn is not a replacement for patch documentation, you
will loose all information after making dist files. Most developers are
lazy document writer, so an enforcement (patch naming) is a must have.
