Sorry for the bike shedding, but the naming of build settings, config settings, and constraint settings makes them unnecessarily difficult to grok.
I suggest renaming config_setting to condition.
config_setting
condition
These are not actually "settings" but in fact "conditions". Compare with //conditions:default.
//conditions:default
The general confusion around the three flavors of Bazel "settings."

Point taken, and we do appreciate this. We'll make sure this idea gets some discussion.
