I was surprised if configfs was merged with zero users in the kernel.
But I get your point, what about the patch below?

Make it clear that users usually shouldn't manually enable CONFIGFS_FS.

- configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse
- of sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based
- view of kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager
- of kernel objects, or config_items.
+ This option is provided for the case where no in-kernel-tree
+ modules require configfs, but a module built outside the kernel
+ tree does. Such modules require Y or M here.
- Both sysfs and configfs can and should exist together on the
- same system. One is not a replacement for the other.
+ If unsure, say N.
