I discovered that if EMBEDDED=y, one can accidentally build a mac80211 stack and drivers w/ no rate control algorithm. For drivers like RTL8187 that don't supply their own RC algorithms, this will cause ieee80211_register_hw to fail (making the driver unusable). This will tell kconfig to provide a warning if no rate control algorithms have been selected. That'll at least warn the user; users that know that their drivers supply a rate control algorithm can safely ignore the warning, and those who don't know (or who expect to be using multiple drivers) can select a default RC algorithm.

possible, as drafts leave a number of identifiers to be defined after
