I was also confused by that. There are also no warnings if DEFAULTS is missing, which means that by removing a seemingly unrelated file I get a different (read: useless to me) kernel. Does INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE show the contents of DEFAULTS as well? Perhaps we can move to requiring an explicit "include" in -HEAD? This should alleviate most of my concerns (except the INCLUDE_CONFIG_FILE one).
