It's something we've had in Fedora kernels forever, because when rebasing to a new upstream version the process becomes make newsymbolsconfig take list of symbols, and make decisions on them make oldconfig without it, the process would be.. make oldconfig note new symbol, make decision make oldconfig note a 2nd new symbol, make decision make oldconfig note a 3rd new symbol.. make oldconfig.. you get the idea. The way we have it isn't perfect, (adding a new symbol may unhide another set of new symbols), but it reduces the number of iterations needed dramatically.
