Yep. It's these kind of changes that make me go through make menuconfig once
after major version upgrades.

BTW: There's no need for "make oldconfig" in this case.

Maybe things have changed since the dark ages when I started using Gentoo.  Back then, occasional mayhem would ensue if you tried using an old .config.  Sometimes.  So I'm keeping this habit -- it also gives me a heads-up about new features.
