Because I'm certainly not the only one to have scripts that config and
build the kernel. These will break when the change is committed.

Now that I think about it, it's not a big problem if we do it in
-current before 3.0 is released. -current users read the mailing lists
(one can hope) and will know about the change; -stable users won't be
faced with the problem until they switch to 3.x, which will require a
lot of work anyway.
