I noticed it now produces an error when it broke the part of my build
scripts to check for new unmaintained defconfig files.  And I don't
really like adding incompatible changes to this script as it then breaks
when I need to go and back track on issues.  So please figure out what
needs to happen for -R to take an optional name, so that existing
scripts aren't broken.
