That's not entirely true. We've added more defconfig, but with the same set of options we've always had, and are shared by everyone (CONS_INDEX, RGMII). So this patch, in effect, gives the signal that it's better to have a proliferation of board-specific headers in include/configs, over using SYS_EXTRA until most of the generic functions are merged?
