The train has already left the station on those. The other mitigations don't have "MITIGAT*" at all in front of the name. I.e.:
config RETHUNK config CALL_DEPTH_TRACKING ...
and prepending them all with MITIGATION_ is going to cause too much senseless churn for a reason which I don't think is worth the effort.
So let's stick with the current naming scheme and do
config MDS config TAA ...
and so on.
Thx.
