Didn't we talk about the wording and the logic some time ago? Your
option looks like a magic switch that suddenly improves kernel
stability, hence everyone will switch it on.

How about this:

config BUILD_FOR_RELEASE
bool "Build for release"
help
If the kernel is configured as a release build, various checks
that are only of interest to kernel development will be
omitted.

If unsure, say Y.

Or this:

config BUILD_FOR_TESTING
bool "Build for testing"
help
If the kernel is configured as a test build, various checks
useful for testing of pre-releases will be activated.

If unsure, say N.
