Now, David. This "fix" addresses a very real problem of kernel bloat.
A very quick search of the source tree will establish that it does not
break anything. It is NOT any change in functionality (or code, for that
matter) in your default case.

IMHO, the "risk" of adding this to 2.1 is much lower than the risk of
Jordan's "addressing" the inability to sysconfig /var. (Neither of which
would worry me)

Is there a double standard?
