defconfig is for boards in tree, for developers, not for customers.
Argument that some out-of-tree user has more uarts does not mean much
for defconfig. If they have some weird hardware, shall we enable it? Or
if they want DEBUG_KOBJECT? Or anything else?
You mistake kernel development defconfig with a distro or product config.
