Given the choice between kernel binary bloat and options bloat, I'll take
the options bloat. Options can always be rearranged and cleaned up (or
removed). Kernel bloat is harder to deal with.
Alternatively we could try our hand at 'negative options', i.e. options
that disable things rather then options that enable things. I dislike
the idea of gratuitously denying a new option simply on the basis of
option-bloat fears.
