  When an old .config contains a legacy symbol, you can easily get rid of 
it by de-selecting the "Check for legacy options" menuconfig. But of 
course, it will stay de-selected the next time you upgrade buildroot and 
so there will be no more checks for legacy options...  To work around 
that, we should change the name of the menuconfig symbol with every 
release. It doesn't really matter what name we give it, as long as it 
changes.

  If someone upgrades from 2012.11 to 2015.11, it will still be a 
different symbol so it will default to y again.

  Regards,
  Arnout
