I don't think I follow you.  What are you looking for, exactly?  What
"default" do you mean?  The Release Engineering default?  The Linux
Kernel team's default?  My default for my personal machines?  There
really isn't a "default" per se.  If you want what *I* would be using
for 2007.0 (at this time), then you can grab the 2006.1 kernel config
that was used for your architecture.  In many cases, it is the exact
same one that "genkernel all" uses.
