DEFAULTS will be included automatically by the new config(8), quoting from markm@ "Its an anti-foot-shooting thing. Scott was concerned that far too many people with kernels based on GENERIC before io was made a separate module were being flummoxed by X not running. This is a way to make npx, mem and io default for even those kernels, as long as they run a modern(tm) config(8)."
