is not
so worse as people tell me.

There is an option (check the menu) to show all entries
(grayed)
and now there is also in make menuconfig this option ('S'
command)

On my extensive test, now all the features of the older tools
are
included. But the important feature to read the old .config
file, but
this feature will be included in the next version (check the
previous
esr's mails)
