Hi,

This has bothered me for a long time, and it just seems to be getting
worse. Can people please STOP defaulting non-essential stuff to 'y'?
Grrr.

Is there a reason why various 10/100/1000Mbit network cards are 'y' too?
There's even a default SCSI 'm' that seems to be completely hidden from the menu too (CONFIG_SCSI_WAIT_SCAN). It depends on SCSI but I can't disable SCSI...
