SubjectRe: [PATCH] Add rdc321x defconfig file

no, i think you misunderstood me. I do allyesconfig testing to make sure
the kernel is still generic enough on PC hardware - not to catch build
breakage.

What i do against build breakage is randconfig testing. That catches far
more build breakage than a few limited number of defconfigs would ever.

More defconfigs would just be a constant maintenance drag, they are
rather pointless on PC hardware anyway (we'd have to have at least a few
hundred of them for it to be meaningful as a "default config") and it
does not really solve the problem either.
