No. (I'm using it! :-) A question I've been burning to ask for a long
time, though, is: do I need or want this option if I've got a 387 processor
installed? What about >486s that don't have a separate numerical processor
to begin with?

If you've got /dev/fd turned off, is the floppy drive going to be of any
use? (I don't know; that's why I'm asking.)

Same sort of wondering (assuming you're looking for a "minimal" config): if
you only have one interface (serial?), are these going to be useful?
