I believe I've addresed your comments in the commit log itself:

    ---8<---
    Since LZO is not the default compression option in the kernel (and there
    is not sign that will change in the foreseeable future), it will always
    appear in a condif file, whether it is a complete config file or it is
    only a defconfig.
    ---8<---

Of course, re-reading myself now, I can now spot a typo:
    s/condif/config/

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
