Yes, you weren't the only one and it has already been reverted in dev.
I'd like to fix it now to get it properly pushed.

Similar, yes.

MACHINE_CLASS is different since it is not supported by all distros
and it has been being used for reuse a class of settings not whole
configuration like kernel defconfig, etc...

Besides that the MACHINE_FALLBACK is going to be used as MACHINE in
case MACHINE is not found. That makes quite easy to reuse kernel and
other settings. For example if you have a machine that uses geodelx
processor you might reuse the defconfig for it (quite useful specially
at began of a new board development).

Please tell me more about your environment:

 - distro
 - machine
