I don't believe we need this. It has been defaulting to N for a long
time, it's just that it got thrown out of your config due to building
inbetween the patch and its revert. Had you built only before and after
that wouldn't be an issue.

If we default to Y now we send the wrong signal. If you really need to
bisect something wext related you have far bigger issues I'd think, the
code hasn't changed *forever*.
