I looked at them about 1 week ago. I know that Ingo or the x86 maintainers team update them occasionally, but I'd like to see a few changes or some questions answered: 1. Disable CONFIG_TR. Token ring is antiquated. No reason to be in defconfig. 2. There are several security-related config items that default to =y but the kconfig help says: If unsure, say N here. Like: CONFIG_NETLABEL=y CONFIG_NETWORK_SECMARK=y CONFIG_KEYS=y CONFIG_SECURITY=y CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK=y CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX=y Maybe I just don't understand the current meaning/usage of defconfig. eh?
