Oh right. Yes, if you do that in the for-3.11/defconfig branch itself,
there will be diffs.

That will always be true; that branch won't have any of the new
drivers/features that will be added in linux-next and the next mainline
kernel, so at the very least you'd end up removing some options doing that.

I expect most people editing defconfig will be doing it based on some
linux-next version rather than right on top of for-3.11/defconfig, so
they can pick up, enable, and test new drivers or features. If you run
the commands above in next-20130529, there should be a zero diff (unless
someone made some Kconfig changes between
next-20130528 and next-20130529 anyway).
