"Default Linux Capabilities" default in 2.6.24

I'm doing a make oldconfig with the new 2.6.24 kernel. I came to the prompt for "Default Linux Capabilities" which defaults to No:

---
Default Linux Capabilities (SECURITY_CAPABILITIES) [N/y/?] (NEW) ?
---

However the help text recommends saying Yes.

---
This enables the "default" Linux capabilities functionality.
If you are unsure how to answer this question, answer Y.
---

Does this seem incongruous? Also, what's the "question"? :)

Thanks,
Matt LaPlante
