The primary issue with defconfigs are that they get
outdated rather quickly. They are often several kernel releases
behind.
This is a much more relvant issue to address than a few wasted MB of
cheap disk space.
So anything that just make it a tad more difficult to update
a defconfig will not be accepted if the only aim is to save
disk space.
