NACK.
Such a stupid option is what I really do not want to merge.
Even allnoconfig_y is also a horrible mistake, and
I have a plan to kill it.
Only the sensible one is 'option modules'.
The others are really bad hacks.

This is just your opinion.
Each sentence should start with "I think".

Yes, this is what randconfig should do.

If you want to set particular CONFIG option(s) to a fixed value,
KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG is supported.
