I meant warning in Kconfig.   I see that there is a warning there, but
it could be made shorter and more explicit.   No need to explain the
hows and whys, just warn that enabling this option is not backward
compatible.

And if distros enable it despite this warning, and it burns their
users, that's their problem.

Thanks,
