Should it depend on EXPERT?
IMO this could add quite a bit of overhead and maybe n by default?


I would leave this to Peter and Tim to decide.

Runtime controls are always better than compile time. Distros will have
no choice but to enable the config option.

But that is not the kind of thing you start a series with. First
versions didn't even have the config option. First you make it work,
then later you worry about silly detail.


Ok Makes sense.
