There is one default y and very strong suggestions
in Kconfig. I bet 99+% of the users use that, which means CUBIC now
since kernel version number XX.YY (I forgot)

Also the "depends on kernel config option" argument seems a poor
one. A lot of things can be disabled with uncommon CONFIG options,
but the man pages still document the standard defaults used
by near all people.

That just means that users will never know.
