Suppose, you're on e.g. udev-1, and, * udev-2 requires CONFIG_FOO=n * udev-1 will not boot with CONFIG_FOO=y Then it doesn't make much sense to die without CONFIG_FOO=n, because it can't possibly exist. So we would warn with either a non-fatal config check or news item. Hopefully we would also execute the person responsible.
