Well, because in my experience there are many programs out there that
do not run fine with this off, and I believe that our defaults should
try to be a kernel that works well for as much software as possible
out there.
The overhead of including this is fairly low. Thare are apps out there
that require it. It's just a default for the kernel.org kernel,
distros can still set whatever they please.
But OK, I'll leave it at this and not resubmit it again if it doesn't
get merged, I don't feel that strongly about it.
