i mentioned earlier, there may be other reasons that people want to

Did not you want to make a patch row that expresses all your ideas, aka
CONFIG_EXPERT
CONFIG_ASKFORDETAILS (former CONFIG_EMBEDDED, e.g. "place in memory where
kernel is loaded")

Some of this might be better left to GUIs or HOWTOs.

CONFIG_OBSOLETE
CONFIG_DEPRECATED
etc.? :)
