Alex, Doug,

In the past, I got two kinds of responses to this question:

1) "OK" from most of the people

>From the kernel via config(8) you can get a ready-to-use configuration file,
but without comments.

2) "We don't like new INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE, since it doesn't support comments,
and comments are crucial"

We'd have to add "-C" to config(8) execution in build scripts, the
same preserving the old way of keeping comments, but without getting 
ready-to-use configuration file.

My vote is for (1)

Thanks,
