I wouldnt recommend this - gs-sources is quite heavily patched, I'm not sure 
about hardened-sources, but I expect it has a very different patchset and many 
options would differ, so you are fairly likely to run into problems. I tend to 
avoid "make oldconfig" even on upgrades between point releases of the same 
kernel - its the safest way to do it, and you get pretty quick at configuring 
kernels when you've done it a few times :)
