Which is a bit of a pain for automated systems.  Ours does (essentially):

yes '' | make oldconfig

We really don't want to select every new config item that comes along.

If you're indeed piping "yes" output to "make oldconfig" on an
existing config, it would select the new guards for you.

Notice the '' that just is the same as typing return to every prompt.  In
the case of these new gueards, that means 'n'.  This will be the same
with "make silentoldconfig".

This happens on other occaisions, I see new group guards all
the time when I resync my net and net-next trees with Linus.

"All the time"?  really?
