If you don't personally configure the features in question by installing third-party userspace packages then they are, in fact, useless to you. If you don't contribute code to the kernel, the kernel debugging features (which eat up a lot of build time) are almost certainly, in fact, useless to you. Such is the case for everything found in the kernel: Someone, somewhere will find it useful, and that's a fact. Whether the majority of Arch users find it useful, and it therefore should be maintained by a limited staff with limited resources, is what's in question here. -- "A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams
