That was more a prototype of the idea; but it's a pretty cumbersome user interface. :-) By changing the makefile to look for kconfig fragments in the configs directory, the user interface for choosing a config remains exactly the same.
As for the allnoconfig bit....

...Linus chimed in on this that he doesn't actually care much. I think defconfig with an empty initial config file makes a lot more sense than allnoconfig so that we're using the default values from the normal Kconfig files.
