I don't think all the _details_ may be intentional, but the fact that

make oldconfig

"just works" is definitely a good thing.

The "hides the prompt for 64BIT" is just a technical detail.

It could equally well be a pre-determined Kconfig fragment that is
used to generate a particular Kconfig.

But once you *have* that particular Kconfig, I do think that "make
oldconfig" should just work. And it apparently used to.

So I think this is a behavioral regression.
