You enabled it by default. I would assume you had a thought about the 
implications... any memories about it?

What I'm after is:
  - What can go wrong if we enable it by default?
  - Why would we like to disable it (or any ideas why it is disabled by 
default in FreeBSD)?

Depending in the answers we may even use a simpler patch and have it 
allowed in jails even without the possibility to configure it.

Bye,
Alexander.
