Guessing "no" is from the fact that bool/tristate symbols with no user value default to n unless they're selected or have an active default. Confusing name still.

I did so, and applied to linux-kbuild/kconfig. Thanks!

The 'oldnoconfig' is really confusing due to its counter-intuitive name. It was renamed by commit fb16d8912db5 ("kconfig: replace 'oldnoconfig' with 'olddefconfig', and keep the old name as an alias"). The 'oldnoconfig' has been kept as an alias for enough period of time, and finally I am planning to remove it. Meanwhile, the following message will be displayed if oldnoconfig is used. WARNING: "oldnoconfig" target will be removed after Linux 4.19 Please use "olddefconfig" instead.
