I'd say not before configtool supports it.
But it would also make creating a public "experimental" repository possible (e.g. on sourceforge) for stuff which didn't make it yet into the main repository.

I'm starting to think that the configtool is doing non-trivial damage to eCos.

There is with eCos a certain necessary level of complexity that the
developer sidesteps when using this tool + it causes problems with the
limited amount of maintenance that this tool receives.

Just a thought....

Besides, configtool makes it all look too easy.  ;)
