Well, I don't think so. First, it doesn't change anything functional, only the 
way busybox is linked/installed/packaged and second is that it only affects 
one package, so if distro wants that, I think it should maintain its own 
defconfig (at least four distros do that already and IMO busybox is the 
package you want to tune for your specific needs). Or the distro itself may 
choose not to use busybox at all so such FEATURE would make no sense in that 
case.

I view FEATUREs as a way to make distro-global configuration, ipv6 is probably 
one of the best examples as it potentially affects many packages. 
FEATURE_INDIVIDUAL is completely busybox-specific.
