I think the dirstat continues to be fairly informative, with arch/ and

We (the arch maintainers) could try to do the bulk of the defconfig updates at about -rc2 or -rc3 time, if you'd prefer. Well, that part isn't the one that I think is bothersome - I just wonder if the whole "defconfig" mess is worth keeping with the kernel at _all_. ... I have a trivial script that does "build all defconfigs", and it has resulted in me reporting and fixing dozens of bugs in 2.6.25 (and some regressions in gcc 4.3). And I use it for verifying that patches don't break the compilation. Different to randconfig builds the defconfigs allow me to cover most reasonable configurations with a script that takes only one day to run. Linus
