If I see it correctly that's not quite correct either. The old silentoldconfig does a few things differently than a normal config target, because it's a special target called by Kbuild when needed:
- bail out if input is needed but stdio is not a tty - silent mode - update .config only as needed - always update autoconf
With the change to make the silent mode the default, the "silent" name has become a little obsolete and should probably be renamed, but whatever the name above actions should still be done if called by Kbuild internally.
