I agree that the defconfig mechanism is broken (ie. carrying the full text in tree), but the concept is sane IMHO. What'd be nice is if the defconfig could just be a delta against a base config for the architecture - that would make most of them reasonably small, just turning on/off a few options. You can sort of do that today, by just storing a delta, but oldconfig will silently turn off things you have enabled if prereqs change, so that doesn't really work I think. cheers
