Nope. That's not true.

The diference between "oldconfig" and just "make" is that oldconfig
will present a prompt when a new option was added. You could as well
run menuconfig, and you'll see new options labeled with NEW, or
something like that.

If you just run make (without doing oldconfig or menuconfig first),
then the new options will take the default build option. It may vary
between Y and N depending on the module, developer, God, a photon
coming out of some distant star, and the mood of a butterfly sitting
in some flower on Japan.
