Hi Valdis -- Thanks for the review! Count me as irked. The default should be "y" because the overhead is extremely tiny when not enabled at runtime by a backend (though admittedly non-zero), but I got flamed by Linus last time I tried that (for cleancache), so I'm not going to try it for frontswap! :-) The "if unsure" is the best I can do for now to encourage distros to enable it.
