We normally don't try to be too "smart ass" with the config files and 
try to use the ones shipped with the kernel if they work - after all you 
can't cover every use scenario out there and we just expect the boards 
to boot properly (which the default config will probably do).
Also since the arietta has at least 128MB RAM and boots from SD (plenty 
of flash) the bloat scenario isn't severe (many kernel options are built 
as modules).
