Subject: 2.5.45: make menuconfig: (NEW) disappears once touched

If I go to any item marked (NEW), like this:

< > Gameport support (NEW)

and press y,n or m (does not matter), it gets
appropriately selected but '(NEW)' disappers.
Why?

Because the option is not really new anymore, once you changed it.
Any reason, why it should be kept (except that the old menuconfig did
this)?

Heh... I thought it means 'new feature' and is part of a feature
description. New behaviour is ok with me.
