Actually, this sounds pretty sane and IMHO is somehow the biggest common denominator concerning linux users and their kernel configuration recreational activities :); but seriously, going all over the menus of Kbuild and turning everything off is a lot of work compared to turning on the several things I need on my system. "default m" is also not a good thing since compiling of unnecessary modules is simply dumb for a system that's just not going to use them.
