I've added this line to the offending patch.

While I agree that randconfig build testing
is theoretically useful, in recent memory
its results do not seem particularly relevant
to useful configs.

Perhaps it would be a good idea to spend some time
making non-useful configs impossible, and thus focus
the testing where it will be of more benefit?
