The list was updated when 2.6, 2.7 and 3.0 were the current releases. None of those options are enabled by default in all current releases (one release may, another may not). That is just an example list. If you look down further and find your OS listed. There is a minimal set provided which are required for your OS to build and install properly. Some tweaking may be permitted on some OS, but generally the required ones should not be altered unless you are an expert on that OS. Installing with apt you get a package where the maintainer has altered the default build options. In that case they have enabled delay pools themselves during the package build. To keep it simply add the option to your own custom list of features when you build your one and make sure any build dependencies are present for it. Amos
