2.6.26-rc1 has listnewconfig and oldnoconfig, which do more or less the
same. And I think we have enough *config targets already, so unless
there is a problem that is hard to solve with the current kconfig plus
some scripting (*), I'd vote for not adding further special-purpose
*config targets.

(*) Such as the defconfig cleanup that took hours with a brute-force
python script, but was easily achieved by a patch that added the
savedefconfig target.
