I'd like to see it disabled in the GENERIC version, because I think
many people would not be able to boot initially otherwise.  I must
admit that the first time I ever went throught the entire process to
make my own kernel was about 3 weeks ago, after my work got a T1 line,
and I got a full tarball and rebuilt everything.  It wasn't as bad as
I expected, but I was totally lost until I got some advice from
someone who had done it before.
