A little more here :)

"Say Y here if you want security label attribute support for NFS version
4.  Security labels allow security modules like SELinux and Smack to
label files to facilitate enforcement of their policies.

If you do not wish to enforce SELinux or Smack policies on NFSv4 files,
say N."

Or something...  the idea being to make it clear to anyone configuring
a new kernel whether they should say n or y.
