SIGWENCH; have to run. Back later. Can we make it something like
"This version preserves the legacy ARCH=i386/ARCH=x86_64 behaviour for randconfig/oldconfig/all*config, although I believe that this *ought* to be removed in the future, in favour of a generic method of overriding config options — one that doesn't work *only* for one particular config setting (CONFIG_64BIT), and *only* on one architecture (there's no equivalent for mips/powerpc/s390/parisc/sparc to flip CONFIG_64BIT for you)."
It's less of an 'attitude' but I think it clearly states the situation?
