I think we still want submenus to be visible if they are not hidden by
any condition in the Kconfig. If the developper did not explicitly add
masking condition, we should *not* try to mask it from the frontends.
However, I agree that entering an empty menu can just be deceptive. If
we could find a way to render an empty menu, and prevent the user from
entering it, then that would be a huge win, I think.
For example, menus are rendered as thus for now:
This is a submenu --->
What about representing empty submenus as thus:
This is a submenu ----
Also, we have menuconfig which are simply empty if not selected, but can
anyway be entererd like any other submenu:
[ ] menuconfig entry --->
(Always empty when entered if not selected)
which could be similarly rendered as:
[ ] menuconfig entry ----
This one is really deceptive, and should be handled in the same scheme
as well.
Any better scheme highly suggested! :-)

Yann E. MORIN.
