The ec2 flavors should be adjusted but sparc64 is under Jan Engelhardt's maintainership.
I'm actually opposed to changing this back without knowing that it's actually used in the EC2 environment. Even more, I was actually considering making it (and other stuff - crypto comes to mind immediately) =m again in the -xen configs, unless it is known that these bits are used on the vast majority of systems. After all that's what modules are for, and I don't see the point of a bloated kernel (not even with the argument of boot speed, as I doubt anyone has ever tried to compare the run time effect [accumulated over the perhaps long periods of run time] with the boot time effect) when only a subset of users actually uses the features in question. The argument of sysconfig not being able to cope with IPV6=m is certainly bogus - if so, the tool needs to be fixed.
