</span>Anyone who knows me, knows that I'd say I hate to see defconfigs<br>
at all ;)<br>
<br>
But back on topic, this is something I can change, it is simply that<br>
when I first put together the linux-yocto kernel configuration steps,<br>
that most defconfigs were actually out of tree, and not within the kernel<br>
tree itself.<br>

</span>Pop an enhancement request into the yocto bugzilla and assign it to<br>
me. I can take care of it from there.<br>
<br>
But just to be clear, this will have to stay out of oe-core for a bit, since<br>
it is past feature freeze for 1.8 and even bug fixes are cut off shortly.<br>
