right?

No, it works, it just forces me to use a configuration that I'm not personally interested in on that particular machine.

I tend to like using minimal kernels. I don't use modules on most of my machines, and I actually look over my config. Maybe I'm odd. But I think it's a good thing to let people decide what they want (and what they do _not_ want) in their kernels.

I think forcing people to use CPU_HOTPLUG is a mistake. There's a reason that existed as a config option. The ACPI changes basically mean that the whole CPU_HOTPLUG config option is totally pointless, because everybody is forced to have it.

Indeed -- forced to have a feature that is applicable in reality to 0.00000001% of the user population, I'd wager :)

I read and hone my .config to utter minimalist perfection too :) So count my vote here too, for -not- wanting CPU_HOTPLUG dead code in my kernel.
