Yeah, it sure should be interactive. This was pasted from my automated testing that isn't interested in unbootable kernels.
So it should be something like:
config GENERIC_BOOTABLE_CONFIG bool "Enable kernel options that are needed to boot typical Linux distributions" default y ...
(I removed the 'SANE' naming as disabling this option is obviously not 'insane'.)
