Messing with hand-edited kernel config

Some of my coworkers edit the kernel configs of our products manually. The comment or uncomment the options and manually put the 'y' or 'm'. Is it safe for me t开发者_StackOverflow社区o load such configurations to menuconfig and friends? What can go wrong?

It's safe as long as you run make oldconfig or make menuconfig, etc. afterwards. "make" takes care of dependencies and activates as needed modules that have been mistakenly disabled.

Yes, you can hand-edit the kernel configs in the config file. "make" takes care of any dependencies.
