I hope that gets included as an option, as for the reason that user shall not be locked in a minibuffer, it makes Emacs not accessible and annoying. User has to have option to switch to other buffers, to consult oneself or obtain more information before answering, and come back, additionally ? for help shall be allowed and C-h m/k and other info functions. Maybe is good to introduce `y-or-n-p-modal' function that does that for programmers who need that specific.
