Linux development kernels have so much rope for a stupid user to hang
themselves with that I frankly don't care when they try to do that without
reading the documentation.
I disagree to keep a needed an useful feature out of 2.4 for the sake that
users may shot themselves in the feet when upgrading to the next development
series.
