Again, for historical reasons, yes, but do you see that happening for
"new" code these days?

And if it does get set to 'y' for new code, you have seen the yelling,
right?

Again, I'm totally confused as to _WHY_ this needs to be y.  What is
causing this oops without it?  If an oops is happening, then shouldn't
this be a strict dependancy?  Why allow it to be disabled at all if it
can break your box if you don't enable it?
