Is this actually useful outside of filtering out defconfigs?

Patch hijack: it's been my view for some time now that almost all
defconfigs are outdated in one way or another. And they are outdated
because they are not, as far as I can tell, updated regularly. So I
wonder whether there are any guidelines for defconfigs. What is their
purpose? What exactly can one expect when using a defconfig?
