You enter a command like "config GENERIC" and config outputs: Because I'm certainly not the only one to have scripts that config and build the kernel. These will break when the change is committed. Now that I think about it, it's not a big problem if we do it in -current before 3.0 is released. -current users read the mailing lists (one can hope) and will know about the change; -stable users won't be faced with the problem until they switch to 3.x, which will require a lot of work anyway.
