How about making 4k stacks incompatible with those circumstances then?
I.e. is you select 4k stacks, then you can't select XFS because we know
that _may_ fail. Similiar for ndiswrapper networking, and other
stuff where problems have been noticed.

Some people don't need any of these, and can then use
safe 4k stacks. Well, at least as safe as the 8k stacks are, there is no
mathematical proof for their safety in all cases either.
