That paragraph doesn't really parse in several places ...

Also, more importantly, please explain why this needs to be a boot option. 
In terms of user friendliness boot options are at the bottom of the list, 
and boot options also don't really help feature tests.

Presumably the feature is safe and has no costs, and hence could be added 
as a regular .config option, with a boot option only as an additional 
configurability option?

Thanks,
