Note that the Kconfig project is about giving end users _less_ config
options.  default-configs/ does not capture dependencies (except in a
very elementary way through pci.mak and usb.mak), while Kconfig does.

Kconfig basically makes configuration of builtin devices automatic just
by choosing the desired boards.

Not every distro, as mentioned in my answer to rth.
