Right, it's plain text. But `make oldconfig' differs from `make config': it
asks you for new config options that didn't exist before only. It doesn't
bother you with questions about things that existed before. So it's very clear
which options are introduced with the new kernel.
`make oldconfig' is the recommended thing to do after each kernel source
upgrade.
