If that patch gets accepted, a patch which removes CONFIG_IKCONFIG and 
CONFIG_IKCONFIG_PROC from about 160 defconfigs would be possible too.

I'm not sure if one patch which removes them all at once would be 
accepted. But if the above patch would be accepted, I'm willing to post 
such a patch too.

Alexander
