Found those, but seems unable to express the "depends on BROKEN_BOOT if 
FOO=y" method that's currently used.

Yes, might admittedly not be considered a huge problem and perhaps we 
could just ship an allyes.config (and same allrandom.config) but it's 
not nice to spread information about a single symbol over various files 
like that.

Currently, we have a tristate that turns into a y/n bool if !MODULES. 
What would be real nice here is a tristate that turns into a m/n bool if 
!RANDOM, where allyesconfig and randconfig would pre-select RANDOM.

If I'm not mistaken, that's currently not possible...
