Since when has "default" been anything but "default". It doesn't mean that
you can't override it. And if "make oldconfig" doesn't take the _old_
setting into account over the new one, there's something wrong.
Of course, if there is no actual question, "default" ends up being what it
always chosen (because no explicit choice is allowed), but in this case
we're talking about:
bool "Macintosh device drivers"
which definitely has that question.
