It's something that has never been supported before, how did it suddenly become 'default y' after twenty years of not even being an issue? It's a disease, I tell you, to think that new features are important. Stop it. Tell people you take patches from to stop it. If we haven't needed them before, they sure as hell aren't suddenly "Say Yes if you don't know" material. Please fix this, but more importantly, please try to fix *people*. So I don't have to always react to the stupid new "default y" options. Linus
