Let me begin by saying that I find the menu arrangement (both before
and after this patch) highly subjective.
I.e., there's not necessarily a right or wrong. (RR:)
I.e., in the absence of further input, some maintainer can decide. :)
Given the above:
I prefer short menus. I find them more readable, with less clutter.
So I don't mind them the way that they currently are.
OTOH, I don't care strongly either way. I think that we should
care more about how non-developers use and see 'make *config'
than how kernel developers use and see it.

I guess so.

I can't see why we need to categorize ~50 (that is _two_ 80x25 screenfuls)
filesystems into 7 or so submenus. The going back and forth in menuconfig
just to check if NFS and proc are enabled for a basic config is highly
annoying IMHO. The categorization itself is a nice idea, though.
