NFS_ROOT _requires_ CONFIG_IP_PNP ?

According to ~linux/fs/Config.in, CONFIG_NFS_ROOT requires CONFIG_IP_PNP:

if [ "$CONFIG_NFS_FS" = "y" -a "$CONFIG_IP_PNP" = "y" ]; then
bool ' Root file system on NFS' CONFIG_ROOT_NFS
fi

However, according to nfsroot (and the Configure.help) and logic, it
actually isn't required, just 'recommended'.

Is this a mistake? Or should it indeed just be

if [ "$CONFIG_NFS_FS" = "y" ]; then
bool ' Root file system on NFS' CONFIG_ROOT_NFS
fi

Because as I see and understand it, you can pass IP configuration via the
'ip=' kernel cmdline.

G'day!
