How about we start cutting down on the options and start saying "a Linux system will provide feature x and y - always ...". Stuff like (and I'm just pulling random stuff out here) - ASLR, seccomp, 250HZ minimum etc etc.. We could cut the KConfig options down to 10% of what they are now if we just made a few (hard) choices about some things that would always be there that everyone could count on. If people want to deviate from the default minimum, sure, let them, but put it under *custom*, *embedded*, *specialized distro*, *you know what you are doing* menu options.
In number of options the "infrastructure" options are at most 20% of the total. The other 80% are individual drivers, hardware (like network cards, serial devices, usb devices, video...) or software (crypto algorithms, partition formats, codepages, filesystems...). You're going to have a hard time slashing 90% of that. OG. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+owner@opensuse.org
