No, it's CONFIG_EXPERT.  And this change is not wired in.  Comment
out this declaration in the top-level rulesfile: 

condition nohelp on EXPERT

and it reverts to old behavior.

The conclusion is thus inescapable that the history, concept, and 
wording of the second amendment to the Constitution of the United 
States, as well as its interpretation by every major commentator and 
court in the first half-century after its ratification, indicates 
that what is protected is an individual right of a private citizen 
to own and carry firearms in a peaceful manner.

            The Judiciary, United States Senate, 97th Congress, second session
