Yes. But I'd prefer having an own list for it - better for sorting and
archiving ;-)

defconfig is a different thing - my idea (that I've dropped) was
actually introducing new config options per board (and sub options
for board features) which switch on all the neccessary things.

The defconfigs are nice thing for starting off with some board, but
they're basically examples, not production configurations. Yet another
point why I've decided to cope all of this in a separate tool.
