In case it's useful: i take old .config's and put them into new kernels all the time, and i very much depend on configured drivers and options not going away suddenly. I know lots of other developers depend on that as well. In the hundreds or so cases i've done this manually in the past few years i only remember less than 5 cases where this didnt work in an 'as expected' way. So this should really work for you. If it doesnt when going from 2.6.35 to 2.6.36 then that's very likely a bug somewhere which we want to fix ...
