If you're taking votes, it seems to me that the defconfig
rule of being allyesconfig minus the settings that render
BB useless or stupid (PAM, DEBUG, etc.) is a good one.
Allyes for Dummmies, in other words. Making BB a perfect
test vehicle for toolchains, evaluation purposes, etc.
The settings that are likely to please the least knowledgeable
BB user, in other words. Once you know more about what you
really need, you're likely to abandon any prepackaged config
anyway.
But there probably needs to be a central vision of what
defconfig is and is not, one owner of record. He can take
opinions, like this one. PAM and DEBUG are pretty uncontroversial,
but whether certain more obscure BB features were on or off
for defconfig would be where the central vision comes into
play, rather than endless wrangling over it. The charter for
defconfig, however, should be well documented.
