I was configuring a kernel build and stumbled across some options, which default to [n], but the help says "If unsure, say Y".
Also the other way round defaulting to [y],
but the help saying "If unsure, say N".

So now I am really unsure, what to pick.
Here is a list of options, which I found with a script to have such unsure help:
