At this point I'm going to bow out of the discussion with this comment....
*If* the patch does nothing but preselect the last selected config
then I wouldn't exactly be happy, but I'd let it slide... any extra

weirdness I'd strongly object to on the grounds that the codebase is
difficult enough as it is without making it worse with obscure
features which are not necessary.
