Yes, but when they do they got documented. Note that no such
documentation exists for USERCONFIG. It has been an ex parrot for a
long time and there's no documentation saying that it has been fixed.
If you don't like it, write something better.
: In this particular case, we have the alternatives:
:
: 1. We kill UserConfig and document it to the level we have already,
: causing some confusion.
: 2. We kill UserConfig and document it well.
: 3. We find somebody to replace it.
4. Expend our energies on getting PCI autoconfig working on machines
whose BIOS doesn't allocate resources.
5. Get CardBus working more reliabily.
6. Get ACPI fully integrated into the tree.
These are *MUCH* more important than userconfig, and certainly much
more worth getting people to help out with than userconfig. IMHO.
