Humm... but it is also enabled in real distros (debian, ubuntu, my
current one) and 32 kernel defconfigs...
Subject to auto-mounting when anything is inserted into usb, right?

In this situation it's good to test it at least to know the state.
Otherwise few kernel devs may know it's broken and unmaintained, but
the rest of the world assumes it's all good and solid and happily
enables it :)
