That's how I use it. I do oldconfig as a kind of "kernel config diff"
and then follow it by menuconfig and a quick browsing of the critical
settings to make sure they look sane enough to boot. As long as it
boots and supports my disks and filesystems I can sort out any minor
settings/module changes after that.
