Viro took the opposite view with this patch:

http://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/3/1068

where he's ensuring that no exports are dropped, even if obviously 
they're not used (otherwise some complaints would have come about).  So 
I'm not sure if having this turned on by default is a good thing.

But I don't mind being convinced otherwise.
