We do not have any serious problems where we actually depend on

randconfig is nice, but even if it would suddenly become no longer
available we wouldn't have significantely more build breakages in
stable kernels (perhaps a few more in the pathological cornercases
only randconfig hits).
If this was really "the whole point" it wasn't not worth it.
Real value would come from getting errors for mistyped kconfig variable
names.
Indeed. However, getting at least compiler coverage across all branches
of code is worth something, at least.
