Did you just notice that thru source code inspection or via testing of
gconfig?

Well, for me, with just some random config file that has
CONFIG_MODULES=y
CONFIG_BLOCK=y

gconfig with this patch says:

Enable loadable module support
Enable the block layer (NEW)

and gconfig without this patch says:

Enable loadable module support (NEW)
Enable the block layer
