Sure, how can I find which configs I should care about?

Right, but it seems there was a plan to have it enabled in the future,
as least that is what I read in a9525c7f6219c ("netfilter: xtables:
allow xtables-nft only builds")
In the future the _LEGACY symbol will become visible and the select
statements will be turned into 'depends on', but for now be on safe side
so "make oldconfig" won't break things.
Also, this was discussed in the thread below, and it seems it is fine to
make the symbols visible:

Thanks for the review,
