That's news to me. I've worked at a vendor for almost 5 years, 3 1/2 years of which I was the person who decided on the configs (with external input of course). In those 3 1/2 years I *never* looked at defconfig. *never*. And I don't expect other vendor kernel owners to do things differently; when a config option needs deciding you look at the description and pick a good value. That's it. Defconfig doesn't matter. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
